You go to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge for the Cranes and Snow Geese show, but the landscape and the light certainly add to the experience. Dawns are spectacular and so are sunsets. Add the birds and you have a truly unique experience.  We stopped at one of the pans along the road back to San Antonio to watch the Cranes settle as the sun set. It was not the most spectacular of New Mexico sunsets but it was still special.

Canon SX40HS in Program with iContrast and -1/3EV exposure compensation. The wide shot used Night Landscape mode. Processed in Lightroom for Intensity and Sharpness.

And for Sunday, I believe that any experience that awakens awe in a human being opens a connection to the Creator…however momentary and however unconscious…there is a second there where God is very close to breaking through the mundane shell. A percentage of people, of course, are never the same again. It wakes a hunger that must be satisfied and that can only be satisfied by a perminent connection to our Creator God. Bosque is a place where such moments happen every day. Go for the Crane and Snow Geese show, but don’t say I did not warn you.
