Title: Take It Easy...the American Southwest
Post by: Thor Lidasan on February 03, 2017, 20:26:44
While travelling through the different states of the American Southwest, one band in particular, Eagles kept playing through my song playlist. The band is not quintessential Southwest but for me their "Take It Easy" song sort of encapsulates how I approach photography:

"Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy"
                                 ~ Eagles, Take It Easy

Those were shot in Sedona, Arizona. The area is not "dark skies" by definition due to light pollution. Thank you for the kind comment!
