Many of you will recognize this scene and will finally say good night to it!! This was one of the final views looking out toward the observation platform and definitely a scene worth sticking around for! It all developed long after the sun dropped over the horizon and had painted the sky some rather nice colors in the clouds that were present! I've included another close-up capture and a scene that distracted me long enough for things to develop after the sun set!

Just a view across the field at the observation platform that was erected at El Franco Lee Park a couple of months ago!! The sunset was developing at this time and as simply a small sliver of color off in the distance on the horizon!! I was going to pack up and go home but decided to stick around and see what happened.......

OKAY!!! Have been a bit under the weather but am feeling better and so will try to jump back into the ol' Photostream!!
I the previous post I talked about leaving as the sun was setting which goes against what I always preach about sticking around!! There were a lot of wispy clouds hanging high in the sky as the sun slipped over the horizon!! The high clouds didn't light up and only the thing band just above the horizon showed any color and so I framed the couple in the tower into the shot to try and create something of interest!! After I took the shot I actually put the camera into the bag and thought that I would just stick around for a bit!! Those high clouds sort of disappeared UNTIL...the sun had faded quite a bit!! My patience paid off and I grabbed the camera and started firing away!! It got better and better as the sun faded from view!! I posted the capture just before the sun set just to show how it looked!! Photos taken at El Franco Lee Park!
