Sunset Bench – 4892

My wife and I had driven to Shenandoah National Park for the weekend, and spent a couple of days hiking some of the trails and visiting the overlooks. By the end of the weekend, I had not even taken my camera out of the bag one time. This was one of the few times that the lighting was so flat that nothing moved me at all.

We were driving home late Sunday afternoon and saw an incredible sunset while we were near West Haven, CT. All I could say was “Get me to a park as fast as you can.” We ended up at Bradley Point Park, and, before the car had even completed stopped, I was out the door heading toward the trees that you see in this photograph. Even though we live less than 100 miles from Bradley Point Park, we drove 1200 miles for this sunset.
