Beautiful Austin at Sunset

Image by Stuck in Customs
I went downtown on Sunday night to work on some new drawings, and I was pretty sure that the gray clouds would not be conducive to shooting. But then, just as the sun dipped below the horizon, it tore through the city with bright pinks for about 10 minutes. I sped over to the other side of the Colorado River and jumped out for a quick shot. Luckily, I always keep the D3X in my car with me in case of a photo emergency like this.
In other news, I finally did that 25 Things thing that has been bouncing around Facebook. If you don’t have a Facebook account, I copied the 25 Things here to the site…
From Trey Ratcliff at www.stuckincustoms.com
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called *sensational sky…looking up!*, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
very nice colors
It looks like the River cooperated well too. I remember when you could see the Capitol from that spot . The crane is not a good sign.
So nice can’t wait for your new sketches
very nice!
So far the most interesting 25 things are on your blog.

That’s awesome Trey. Just can’t go wrong with those beautiful Texas sunsets.
I just read your list of 25 — very entertaining. I was going to try to do one of my own, but I couldn’t come up with many.
What a marvelous image!!
