Sunset...it still happens!

I know the sun has set every day during this long winter, but I've missed every one, I'm certain. Tonight, it was different -- there actually was light and color.  Because I have to get above town to get a decent view, it required grabbing my camera and slipping some shoes on so I could get to Cemetery Road southwest of town to catch the light before it was gone.

Above the Valley

Life in a valley means I must go "up" to get a good landscape view.  It's often frustrating, but it's necessary.  There are areas I return to on a regular basis:  Cemetery Road to the southeast, Fish Trap and Cricket Flat to the northeast, Palmer Junction to the north...whichever one I choose, it's more than two miles of driving.  As a matter of fact, Cemetery Road is the only location within two miles.  The road runs through fenced farmland, and I love wire fences.  This particular fence and gate have been in the viewfinder of my camera many times, whatever the season. It's a great place to see the wonderful cloud displays we take for granted in this part of the state.
