Breathe

Before my trip, I had a very busy and tiring month.  The night before I hurriedly packed my gear and jumped on a plane to take me to the deserts the next morning.  As I arrived at the ghost town before dark, peace descended as I began enjoying every moment.  Yesterday was already in the distant past.  Finally I could breathe.  And as I was photographing this scene I imagined that these travelers might have felt the same way generations ago having escaped from a big city.  This composition was chosen because of its simple bold elements.  Light painting was used to accentuate textures and shadows in the entire scene.  The yellow interior lights add a splash of color to draw attention.
