\"USBG-1302_MFT72_PV_\"<\/a>I shot the USBG earlier this year during the day, and it is a smorgasbord of post-industrial steam-punk vs. wilderness 3d imagery. \u00a0I returned last month to try and capture the magical evening light, which makes the place look even more mysterious than it already is. \u00a0I was hampered by equipment problems (in part of my own making), and did not get very many shots. \u00a0This is one of the better ones, taken about 5 minutes after the “magic” lighting had ended. \u00a0(Equipment failure prevented pictures during the magic 15 minutes!).<\/p>\n

Then, on the drive home (about two hours highway driving), my car broke down near Culpeper, about halfway home. \u00a0Michele and Jet had to come fetch me in the middle of the night. \u00a0The car was repaired in Culpeper over the course of three more weeks. \u00a0I only got it back just recently. \u00a0All in all, an ill-fated photo mission.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
