Thunder Mountain

I like this photo a bunch.  I took this at sunset from the Cultural Park in Sedona Arizona about 15 minutes after sunset.  The sunset was behind me as I took this photo.  I was actually facing the sunset (falling behind the mountains to the west) and I happed to look the opposite direction back at Thunder Mountain.  It was at this moment that I realized the sky opposite the sunset was cooler then the sky looking into the sunset.  So I ran over to reposition myself to get this shot.  The colors in the sky lasted about 5 minutes and then it was over.  “You gotta be quick” as Lenny Haise has said.

Have a great Sunday.

Early Morning Calm

Sorry about the recent absence…as you probably guessed, I’ve been traveling.  I took a long weekend and met some friends for our annual Great Lakes shipwreck scuba diving get together.  In the past, we’ve gone to Whitefish Point on Lake Superior and the Mackinaw Straits area diving in both Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.  We’ve done this five years in a row.  This year we met in Alpena Michigan to dive the Thunder Bay area of Lake Huron.  We got in three full days of diving on everything from ocean going modern steal freighters, barges, dredges, wooden steamers and ancient wooden sailing vessels.  A fun time was had by all.  In the past when the weather is to bad to dive, I’ve gone and capture some photos.   And you never know what the weather will be like.  This year, we got lucky, got lots of dives in…..so I didn’t take many photos.     

But I did capture this photo at about 7am on Sunday morning of a few strangers leaving the harbor heading out to go fishing.  They didn’t know me, but stopped their boat to let me photograph them.
