Lighting was great one late afternoon but "original" clouds were barely seen. I feel it is nice to know how to edit and perfect images, being very subtle when doing so, which is generally my style. However, this assignment was fun because I could slide those sliders and even created more clouds through Luminar.

Desert landscape of the southwestern United States from the air.
I wish I could remember where this was exactly. It was in the Basin Range area of the U.S. Southwest perhaps southern Utah or Nevada.

Chapel of the Holy Cross, Sedona
Most people never get to see the Chapel like this.
Some history as per Wikipedia:
The chapel was inspired and commissioned by local rancher and sculptor Marguerite Brunswig Staude, who had been inspired in 1932 by the newly constructed Empire State Building to build such a church. After an attempt to do so in Europe, with the help of the noted architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, was aborted due to the outbreak of World War II, she decided to build the church in her native region.[2]
Richard Hein was chosen as project architect, and the design was executed by architect August K. Strotz, both from the firm of Anshen & Allen. The chapel is built on Coconino National Forest land; the late Senator Barry Goldwater assisted Staude in obtaining a special-use permit. The construction supervisor was Fred Courkos, who built the chapel in 18 months at a cost of US$300,000. The chapel was completed in 1956.[3]
The American Institute of Architects gave the Chapel its Award of Honor in 1957. In the sculptor's words, “Though Catholic in faith, as a work of art the Chapel has a universal appeal. Its doors will ever be open to one and all, regardless of creed, that God may come to life in the souls of all men and be a living reality.”
In 2007, Arizonans voted the Chapel to be one of the Seven Man-Made Wonders of Arizona,[4] and it is also the site of one of the so-called Sedona vortices.[citation needed]

When I was a younger man, I spent a fair amount of time exploring the Desert Southwest. I was certainly no Ed Abbey, but the desert did teach me a few things. One, was to always come prepared. It's a place where there is little margin for error.
