Yesterday evening the air and sky were thick with particulates. The landscape took on a surreal unworldly appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Kris and I drove around Strasburg, Pennsylvania, I made a few photos with my Nikon Z6 and 70-200mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lighting was about as strange as anything I’ve worked with naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun looked like a floating glob in a lava lamp. The sky was a pasty gray-lavender while wafting clouds of thick green-gray haze filled the air near the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun didn’t so much set as it melted into the haze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed these images of Strasburg Rail Road’s preserved J-Tower and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania’s former Reading Crusader tail-end observation car, and the nearby farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
