Sue’s image of the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Distant Road, was captured in Asheville, North Carolina: I was inspired by the layers and the mysterious-seeming road in the distance.

Wright’s image, Storm Brewing, has a story behind it: This is one of many iPhone photos I captured from the passenger seat of our RV when my wife and I made one of our cross-country trips to Cincinnati during the Pandemic. To beat boredom, I started taking photos of truckers that we passed on the Highway. Most of them gave me very funny, and sometimes threatening, looks, or just didn’t notice, like Carolyn in this photo because she was focused on driving.

Bob’s image, Back Road to the Stars, was shot down California Highway 25 south of Pinnacles National Park: I scouted the area for possible images of a comet a few years ago. After photographing the comet, I turned around and was amazed to see the Milky Way, even though the moon was just setting, which added a bit of light to the foreground. I relocated slightly to include the dirt farm road leading off toward the distant hills where they were intersected by the Milky Way.
