Due to the lack of light pollution, I've been able to experiment with night photography. Night is such a great time to be out and exploring. Everything changes and what was obvious becomes mysterious and the benign becomes errie. Growing up on the east coast where light pollution is a consistent problem, I was blown away with the clarity of the night skies out west.
