Near the end of the one of the most fertile photographic outings I can recall; the confluence of setting and atmospherics yielded an incredibly rich harvest of imagery.
Here, a rare overt intrusion of technology's presence in an otherwise pristine environment. Even so, it's relegation to the distant background, and its temporal nature, allows the fundamental beauty and serenity of the scene to prevail.
