Though the lowest-ranked of my final batch of "photograph/Photoshop" covers, I still like this image. Accomplished by keeping the shutter open while "writing" on a bush (lit by a red flashlight) with a green laser pointer (the strong kind astronomers use that you aren't supposed to aim at aircraft - or anyone's eyes!). Taken during a long road trip (for astronomy and sight-seeing) in Seligman, Arizona, just off old route 66 by a rail line as dawn approached. And no, the "vol. 22" is not some joke - it really is my 22nd "regular" collection of what I considered my "best" (usually with a commercial leaning) material, which usually happened every three albums, but by this point I did every four albums, which actually was tricky because also at this point the material was so much better that I was leaving good stuff out when once I was including some questionable tracks just to make a complete album. Silliness. Note that the usual Roman Numeral is replaced by the more common Arabic. Sometimes I wondered if I was doing the Roman Numerals correctly, but in the case of the last several albums it was a stylistic choice and not wanting to appear too highfalutin.
