The storm was closing in as we weaved through the mountain pass from Taos to Santa Fe. Everywhere was dark, and becoming darker. The road settled down as we approached the lone tree and it's personal mailbox. Wiithout warning, the sky cracked open - just enough to allow the intense rays of the sun to burst through and paint the side of the tree and surrounding land in a near-blinding light. We stopped. Every branch, and every inch of the tree that was bathed in the sun's harsh glare lit up white. Moments later, it was dark again.

Up to minutes before sunset, the sky over Race Point Lighthouse was flat, gray and without contrast. Then a small window of light opened up on the edge of the horizon, and enabled the sun's rays to paint the sky crayola pink. Shot at Race Point, Cape Cod, MA on 7/30/18. ©John Schiller Photography

The Chrysler Royal was produced by Chrysler from 1937 to 1942 and 1926 to 1950. The Royal was the base trim Chrysler during its production. In 1939 Chrysler contracted with Hayes Bodies of Michigan to build 1,000 coupe bodies, 373 of which were Chrysler Royal Windsors. The main difference between the coupes were the changes made to the windows, making the the Royal appear 'Art Deco.' The Royal was equipped with a new design six cylinder engine that developed 95 horsepower. In the case of THIS car, it’s hard to confirm the model because it’s windows are occupied with wooden fuel – which also replaced the 6 cylinder engine with a uniquely grown 6-branch tree.
