view from north lot, first day of fall

Sunshine at last the morning after autumnal equinox, and the coulees begin to show their colour.

I'm still trying to figure out how to use this 24mm lens. It's obviously wider angle than a "normal" view, even on a cropped sensor camera like mine, but still I am not sure how to use it to best effect. Most of all, how to resist the cliche of "wow look at all the stuff I can cram into the view here". Must practice some more.

thanks for pointing that out - I have been feeling surly about n lot - somehow I forgot to buy my parking pass till mid August and e lot was sold out. But you're right, the view and the walk is prettier.

It surprises me how unfamiliar the 24 mm view feels. I'll write more about this later.
