Sunset

Went down to record our first sunset of the trip. Went through the usual agony of just when is the peak color.  Only way I know is to take a series throughout the sunset and toss out the worst.

So, here are the winners.

And here is a close up at the same time.  Exposure is everything.
Of course you must properly prepare before embarking.  The correct gear is essential.
Woofus and Sue just arrived in a mad dash to escape the SNOW in Tuscaloosa. More on their stay later.  Got cold just before they arrived, down to the 60s; warming and better for the next few days.

Stay warm; still in shorts and tank tops here.
