Spicy Sunset

Ingrid - it's beautiful. And you get to look at it in all weathers and seasons. Have you documented some of these changes? Of course you have.

this reminds me of the time when I was in the thriving town of Weed, California, chasing an open space to catch the sunset over Mount Shasta. I finally found a spot on a residential street - set up the tripod in the middle of the street, dodging power lines and the like, when a nice lady came out of her house and called out: "you can shoot from my back yard if you'd like." Well.... it was just a wonderful unretricted view of a spectacular scene and I will someday hunt up the image from that occasion and show it.

The point being, you too have a spectacular view. And you never know who will land on your doorstep.

Well done.

Isn't it nice when what you saw in the viewfinder actually appears!

Good one.

Remarkable piece of human engineering, isn't it. Nice that you created textures in the wall without blowing the sky. One thing - the rocks on the left side appear to be almost flush against the dam. I'm not sure it would be possible to give them a little more dimension, but might be worth a try?

PS Oh, I really like that "Spicify" Adjustment feature.

Get your glasses checked, ump!! He was out by a mile!
