Biosphere two

This photo was created for a story about Biosphere 2 for Edible Magazine a few years ago. It is an example to me of the Boy Scout motto “be prepared” combined with the Canadian Mountie motto “always get your man”. I arrived to scout and and get a tour by the assistant director. The sky was spectacular that day. After the tour I realized I wouldn't get a better opportunity to do an overall shot of the facility so I started hiking around. I brought the camera & lenses I thought I might need. I saw this spot about a ⅓ mile away on a hill in the desert. After a few dead ends I found myself in the perfect spot.
