Had the opportunity yesterday (6/5/14) to go photograph one of my favorite spots on the island. One that I havent really visited much in the recent past. The sky that afternoon was a bit hazy but overcast with high clouds. Without seeing much of the horizon I made a comment to a fellow visiting photog
Of course the bottom line gives it away. After climbing down the trail, a trail that has been much degraded in the last few years. By which I mean slopey dirt/mud and the crux at the end where the ropes are in bad need of some maintenance to say the least). I dropped my bag in my desired location and walked around a little scouting for future projects. The sky being very suspect. As I got back to my bag and wasted some time (read: playing hearts), I poked my head around the rock and the sun was lighting up a tiny section of cloud on the horizon. Gave me some hope. As the sun set the glow stayed…then started to grow…that is when I sent the text. Over the next 10 minutes or so the color crept over the sky causing everything to glow as I giddly laughed to myself….chance of epic. Of course the hike back up to the car still was ahead of me…but we all know up is always easier 🙂
Thanks!
