Gypsum gets its name from the large gypsum deposits found in the area, which are used to manufacture drywall. In fact, the American Gypsum Plant in town is one of the largest producers of drywall in the country! #Gypsum #Colorado #sunset

Norway through the Sony 70-200mm G F4 I love how dramatic the peaks are in Lofoten, they rise from the seaside... I shot this on a telephoto lens to emphasize scale and showcase the peaks in the distance. Luckily, it cleared for a day for me to even see them
