Location: Rawlins, Wyoming
Today was a great day for filmmaking! I have lots of bad days, but today was definitely a good one. Woke up to a shower at a Flying J in Casper then headed south and hit the back roads between Alcove and Sinclair to see some dam and power sites.
This secondary Hwy was completely deserted, reminding me to fill up the gas cans on my roof next time I come across cheaper fuel. I only had a quarter of a tank and was feeling a little insecure as I cruised along through nothingness.
The winds were blowing hard, bringing in a storm, adding to my anxiety. But these winds made for some fast moving and spectacular cloud formations drifting across the deserted Wyoming landscape. I'm sure I captured some beautiful timelapse photography out here, which fills my filmmaker heart to the brim.
As with most routes, I pretty much rely on intuition to guide me, and sure I knew there were some dams, but the scale of the energy infrastructure was immense. Then to top it all off, as I leave this back road, I pass through Sinclair and it's enormous fuel plant. Although I'm not sure if or how these images will be used in the film, it feels good to stumble upon great images of both nature and technology all in one day.
peace,
