"Even at night the sky is blue"

This is a picture of an experiment with long exposure
photography and it really surprised me to see how this
photo turned out. If your wondering where this picture
was taken it was taken at a campsite that Exi-dos had
made for a night while we were floating down the Rio
Grande. Some of you might ask where is the Rio Grande?
well the Rio Grande is in Texas the land of "go big or go
home." We as Exi-dos took a trip in Texas this semester
as part of the WEA course we were taking. This course
challengedthe team a lot in the physical, spiritual, and
emotional realms of life. We canoed down the Rio
Grande and backpacked both below and above the Mesa
de Anguilla.The canoeing was a blast and we were able to
spend lots of time perfecting our paddle strokes.As for the
backpacking portion for me it provided lots of room for
processing the reality of life and what some of the next steps
will be for me as I step off the branch of a community that has
supported me a lot over the last couple years and into the
reality of secular life. The trip was phenomenal and I would
recommend the desert to anyone that has travelling on their agenda.
