| Our next camping trip took us to Cimarron Canyon State Park. One of the reason for this locations was for me to get 5 more photos for the contest, but another was the fact that this State Park seemed to offer quite a few walking trail options that I wanted to check out. The campground was a parking lot - literally - all the RV’s are parked in a circular pattern like covered wagons, with the doors facing toward a picnic table and a mountainside. The park itself is beautiful and Jim and I enjoyed several walking trails, but the asesthetic’s of the campground were not scenic. The first two of the five photos in this area I took on my way to meet Jim at the campground in the town of Cimarron. Both photos were fairly difficult to for me to identify. And the first one, I am not even exactly sure how I was tipped off to it being a building in Cimarron. I don't know if I was scouring the historic photo archives and found a photo of it, or if I was looking up Cimarron for the second photo after I identified it and found it. My mind is all a jumble of how I found some of these, but anyway I finally did. Taking the photo was really easy, except for getting a good angle and the correct light, but I had to work with what I had to work with. I really like the look of the originally photo without all the brick a brack around it as seen in the new photo. |
