I'm on a dark sky vacation, but forecast is bleak...so I took terrestrial photos, what does your dark site look like?

I'm in a Bortle 3 zone in New York, and being from the city, this is the darkest sky I've seen in over a decade. However...its cloudy most of the rest of the week, so I started to take non-astro photos (I know, blasphemy) . Here's my favorite, taken with the Samyang 135mm ...this got me thinking, what does your "dark" site look like?

Here's a couple of daytime shots of the area where I took my latest Milky Way shot. Bortle 2. It's about 30 min. from my front door.

And sometimes the conditions are not astronomically useful but photogenic nonetheless. Both shots from near my local roll-off..
