I always say I miss the seasons here in California as we don’t get the same intensity of trees changing color as I’m used to. This time I didn’t have to go too far to find a taste of fall, a few trees in the Santa Cruz Mountains were participating in the fall season.
You can stay out on the water all day, but some days you end up racing the sun home.
This isn’t my actual backyard, but it was for one great weekend in Eastern Washington. Not a bad place to spend some time and take in a few sunsets!
I’ve shot at this spot before, and this time I was just hoping for some greener grass from the recent rain. While the grass was greener, I also decided to shoot through these rocks to highlight them along with the sunset.
After a day of hiking, I had to rush down to the shoreline to catch sunset at this old lighthouse. It was worth the hustle, as I had just enough time to set up for this shot before the sun went down.
These decommissioned ships are known as the Reserve Fleet. They have patiently waited for years to be disassembled as they rust away in the bay. When they are finally gone I’ll miss their eerie presence.
My only goal driving down Skyline Boulevard was to catch the sunset, but I didn’t have much of a plan. The first trail I stopped at was a winner, I only had a short hike to get this shot.
Sometimes, in the middle of all the houses, there is some open space for a sunset.
I was the only one in the group brave enough to summit Eagle Tower on this cold winter afternoon. At ground level you are surrounded by dormant trees, but at the top you get a glimpse of the sun.
