It was a cool day for September – only 85 degrees – so I went out for a bike ride on Sunday afternoon.
The trails were in remarkably good condition after the monsoon rain that we got on Friday. The rain washed away some of the dirt surrounding the rock on some parts of the trail, making it even more fun than usual. I did encounter this big rut. I started to go down the left side of the rut – or right in this photo – but realized that I’d end up in the rut towards the bottom. I was able to stop before getting into trouble. I decided to put my bike in a deep section of it and take this photo.
I had different plans for this photo while editing it, but I clicked “Auto” in the Levels tool. I thought, “Wow, look at that color.” I dialed it back just a bit and saved it. I might redo it to bring it more in line with how it really looked at that time of day. The sky was actually a darker blue with just a hint of red and purple in some places.
Another shot of my bike just a short ways away from where the photo above was taken.
