Ethereal light show
As the sun fell behind the trees, I couldn’t help but think that this light show was rather otherworldly!

I like this one, especially since it is not technically a sunset as the sun is still above the horizon, though it is touching the trees. Well, OK, maybe it’s a sunset in some people’s books, but it is not cliche. The only thing wrong with it is that the waters are a reservoir and not a real lake. Well, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt because it’s a nice photograph anyway. I like the mirrored lines of clouds.

Thanks David – I’m totally stoked you were moved enough to comment on a “sunset” image! You’ve made my day!
You are right, this is a reservoir… in all of Texas there’s only one or two natural lakes, believe it or not.

The reflection of the clouds with the silhouette of the trees is stunning! Beautiful colors!

Hi Elizabeth! Thanks for stopping by – it’s a bit different than what you get to play with in Florida – but I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😉
