Looking at Sunsets

We had near-perfect weather for at least half the weekend. Just like those beautiful days we can usually count on in September or October. Seemed every evening as I turned around, I found myself marveling at yet another spectacular sunset. I aimed my camera both east and west - and even toward the south at the sliver of a moon. This skyline was shot on Friday.

The photo – in black and white – is in today’s newspaper as the Scene Through the Lens column. The weekly column, which began in June, is moving from Wednesday to Monday. It will still appear each week inside the Local section, often (but not always) on page B-2. Space has tightened up, so it will also shrink from two photos to a single image. It will continue to run here on my blog each week.

Absolutely stunning! Part of my brain knows that those are real buildings but the other part thinks they're colourful scale models. A magical photo!
