Last Light on Guardian Trail

This was a special evening.  I was up near Peregrine Point taking in the amazing view.  These are my favorite conditions, a clearing storm in spring with wind!  Most people stay home so you have a place to yourself.  You might get rained on, the sky could cloud over completely, something in between, or …. This!  A moment that has to be appreciated, a memory to savor, and an image to cherish.

Conditions can change so fast in these situations.  I like to have a spot picked out and camera as close to ready as possible.  Then when nature gives me a gift like this, I have put myself in the best position to capture it.  Even now I can feel the excitement I was experiencing for this image!  There was no doubt in my mind this was a special event.  Not only was I getting to enjoy it, but I was also photographing it.  My excitement was so high that I didn't even stay for the full sunset.  After dinner, I started working on this image immediately.
