By dusk’s pastel light

You know how sometimes the best part of the sunset isn’t on the western sky? This view, looking southeast, shows an abandoned drive-in – and an interesting fence – lit in the glow of the pink light from a waning day.

How many times have I NOT looked behind me and missed a good shot like this one. Not telling or even know. I see bricks!

I forget to look behind me, too, but I’m trying to get better about it.

I like the way the pink flush of the day’s farewell adds a little warmth to the dereliction of the abandoned buildings.

They do look a lot better in this light than in the harsh light of day, that’s for sure! I am fond of the way that something behind me is reflecting a little patch of brighter light on the far wall. I don’t know what could have been doing that…more exploration is required.

Thanks, Mark. This sunset was spectacular – the entire horizon took on color from it (I like being able to see the entire horizon – I’ve been greatly impacted by my geography).
