I photographed this parking meter in two very different locations when I was in New Mexico last spring. I had good results from both places, but this was the view that I had in mind when I set out on the trip and after much consideration, this is the one that makes the final cut. After two and a half days at White Sands, and location scouting and exploring hikes that took me several miles into dunes, this was one of the last exposures I made on my last evening there, about a minute before the sun slipped behind the mountains and left this dune in shadow.
