Separation

Delta Lake State Park

Still no snow here in Upstate New York and the temperatures have been well above normal. I find myself looking forward to some of the white stuff to give the landscape a nice coating and cover up all the dreary brown. Today I went back to mid-November and a quick trip to Delta Lake to catch the sunset.

I really liked the difference between the calm reflection in the pool of water and the waves coming into shore just beyond the sand bar. The sky had just enough cloud cover to make the scene interesting. I positioned the sun almost out of view on the left to enhance the gradient from orange to blue in the sky and water.

Storm Front Sunset

Posted by Mike on

I got out of work a few minutes late last night and was greeted with a beautiful sunset as I walked out the door. My head was racing for a location I could capture this from before it was gone. I jumped in the car and started driving toward the sun. Nothing was coming to mind and the sun was disappearing fast. I found a back road with a field and some trees. A quick 3-point turn and I pulled off into the field. I wish I had something better in the foreground but those colors were not to be missed.

Rayhill Memorial Trail

I have not walked the Rayhill Memorial Trail at all this year. Last night was looking like it was going to be a good sunset and I needed to get outside after a long week at work. I started at the opposite end of the trail than I normally do, figuring walking into the sunset would provide better image opportunities. It did, but boy did I have to walk through an onslaught of bugs! Those big patches of light specks in the image are the bugs!
