Awake

Sunset on Dead Indian Memorial Road

A little after six this evening it was looking like there might be a pretty sunset, so I grabbed the camera and hopped in the car to scope out a good place to take some pictures. I went south and turned on Dead Indian Memorial Road, a road I had not yet explored (and wasn't exactly sure where it would take me). Well, it took me *into* the hills. Not exactly awesome to be surrounded by (albeit very pretty) hills when what I was looking for was a clear vantage point of the valley north with sky and clouds, etc. But, just when I was about to turn around, the road gained a bit of altitude and lo and behold, a turnout, some nice branchy trees, and a sun, setting behind the hills.

And a car wreck.

Later, I stopped off at the Railroad District Park, but none of the pictures turned out the way I wanted, so, it turned out to be more of a learning experience instead of a sharing experience.

The small set of photos that made the cut can be found in my flickr set: Sunset on Dead Indian Memorial Road. Enjoy.

Happy End-Of-Friday.
