November Sunset

Sue's photo group is heavily American, so it's a bit problematic for a Canadian when they insist on landscapes in December, especially when there is no snow cover to brighten the scene. However, when we saw the cloud formation as sunset was nearing, we headed to the trail (former railway) bridge. Sunset was to be at 4:23 that afternoon, and we were taking pictures at about 4:15.

For once, I was not shooting toward town hall, which was lying well off to the left of this ↑ photo. That is the dam in the lower section, and the faint lights beyond it are at the restaurant where we sometimes have had breakfast on the patio.

This ↓ is a landscape view in which you might see the green and red lights beginning to come on the bridge for Christmas. Presumably they would have been more vivid when it would become totally dark. There are vehicles on the bridge, and if my photoshop were working, I probably would have taken a moment to clone them away. (Of course, some of what I describe — lights and vehicles — are pretty difficult to see at this resolution, but they are quite visible on a high resolution view at full screen.)

I am thinking that the dam might be interesting if I were to use a telephoto lens in the right light when it would be snow-covered. I'll try to bear that in mind.
