Before I rest up for tomorrow.....Does this remind you of the Hudson River School

I love those huge paintings by Bierstadt, Cole or Church

After I turned it black and white, and saw the moon in the sky, and the people lollygagging that's what I saw

2. It does . . .

. . . and it really makes me want to go to Sedona!

I was looking at a lot of those paintings recently and they reminded me in a lot of ways of HDR photos.

5. Thank you Elsewhere's daughter, and I hope to get to see the photos of Olana.

Church painted in Ecuador, didn't he? I'm glad to see the pictures you posted and it's great to know you live near there, and now that I know about your tent, the picture gets rounded out.
