I’ve shown you dozens of El Paso sunsets. But that’s not all we get. Sometimes we luck out with mist shrouding the Franklin Mountains that split our city in two:

Departing Bar Harbor
Our departure from Bar Harbor took place late afternoon with the sun in our eyes as we looked back toward shore. As such the lighting was far from optimal for most shots. But you know what the say — when life hands you chicken guano, make chicken salad. Or is that something about lemons and lemonade? I get these things mixed up sometimes.

At any rate I made the best I could of a bad situation, even resorting to some Black & White conversions to take advantage of the lighting in my favor. Hope you enjoy the slide show:

El Paso may be in the desert, but rain and mist make a welcome appearance now and again. This past August and September saw more than our normal share of rain, mist, and beautiful fog-shrouded mountains — in this case the Franklin Mountains that divide the city of El Paso.

When clouds top the Franklins I enjoy grabbing the camera and snapping a few shots. The novelty never wears thin as I stand in my front yard or on a nearby street to capture the scene.

If the winds are just right the mist will flow down the slopes with a dynamic cascading effect that is absolutely stunning.

On this particular day late last month Ursula and I were off to photograph a new listing (Ursula is, after all, a REALTOR®, and I am her chief photographer and brochure designer). After a stop along the way to capture closeups of the fog, I took advantage of the huge backyard of her current listing to piece together some stunning panoramic images of the Franklins suspended beneath a low ceiling.

Today I thought I would share with you the results of that day. I hope you enjoy them.
