Thanks Mark C, This was my last shot of the day. I had failed all day to get one I liked. Changed cameras for the sunset shots and success on the last attempt. As I replied to Igor these were sunset. The riders leave at first light and the tents were gone by 9 AM.

The morning light on the tents - especially the first image of them - is wonderful.
