The night time photo is from a trip to Moab, Utah last year. The pinion pine is situated on the edge of a cliff in Dead Horse State Park. The park has some beautiful views overlooking a canyon and the Colorado River. At night it is incredibly dark when there is no moon and the Milky Way is clearly visible. To get this shot, I had to position my camera on a tripod about 10 feet away from the edge of the cliff and 1000 foot drop. So I had to take great care when walking around in the dark. It was an incredible experience.

Brooks Brown | Photo Of The Month
A note from Brooks Brown: My goal in retiring here was to spend my full time dedicated to creating art in and around Aiken, to be with horses either with the Great Oak Theraputic Riding Center or on the sides of the road, and to put my artographs in the Aiken Center for the Arts exhibits. I like being surrounded by horses, equestrian eventing, and polo riders that afford me the opportunity to use my iPhone to capture their beauty wherever I see them. I love being in the moment where it’s me, my iPhone in hand, with a horse, or nature, gardens or flowers or rolling hills on country
