My hiking partner, Bob, and I camped off the road the travels around the backside of Anthony Lake. The view looked over Chicken Hill and the source. of the. Grande Ronde River. The location was tranquil.

I pitched my tent toward the northwest, where I had hoped to photographed it lighted up with the neowise comet above it.  Unfortunately, the moon was too bright for the comet to show up well, although it was visible through my binoculars.

However, the placement was absolutely perfect for the sunset.  The colors developed first along  the horizon.  Then beautiful pink clouds formed to the northeast. And, finally, the moon was perfect for this time of evening. This sunset was one of the best I have ever enjoyed.
