I wasn’t the only one out for a sunrise walk. The man in the yellow hat hiked in with his dog, whom you can just see in the lower right. The three of us shared square miles of quiet. Except that the dog woofed at me, though he wagged his tail all the while.

A man in a straw hat walks toward the camera through dense desert scrub, as the sun rises and lights up the tops of the flora. Rolling hills and mountains can be seen in the background.
