There is a stone gazebo at an overlook at Bastrop State Park and I hurried to try to get there at sunset one evening and arrived just as the sun was hitting the horizon. I noticed that I could get the sun to be right through the openings in the gazebo and tried shooting that.… Read More Stone Gazebo at Sunset
I went out to a park to hike and perhaps catch some photos of fall color reflected in the river. Unfortunately there is not a lot of fall color to catch around here and there is barely any water in the river to reflect any of it. But I did get a nice hike and… Read More Sunset by the River
