We slept in the desert that night.  A couple of illumination fire missions were shot on different locations.  I heard the shots, woke up and made this image.

I can't believe you took your boots off in an AO! Well, I guess the piggies need to dry out!

The vehicle to the left, the desert and by all means the worn, unlaced boots neatly set out along with the illumination capture a moment in a battlefield. This photo has a lot of elements that tell a big story.
