Late Autumn Sunset

It was very nice to see the sunshine out in full force today after a week of much fog and rain. After work I dressed up warm – the autumn air is getting very chilly! – and went for a walk. I took this photo on a walking trail not far from my home in St. John’s, Newfoundland. This small pond is a temporary calm point in the Virgina River where the water slows to a crawl before flowing under the bridge and swiftly downstream again.

There are only a few colours of autumn left showing in the trees this year, the weather has stripped most of the leaves from the trees. The colours in the sky as the sun set this evening however more than made up the difference.

I’m only just getting to finish sorting through the photos I took this past Saturday at Lake Del Valle. Here are three more scenic shots I took on my hike around the lake. The first shot is a HDR composite of three images, the others are regular photographs. I used HDR on the first photo to capture the detail in shadow on the tree branch that would have otherwise been lost.

I captured these scenes while out hiking at Lake Del Valle in Livermore, California on Saturday. Another beautiful California park! It was a hot day for hiking, around 90 degrees but the trails were level and easy so it was actually quite enjoyable. I believe the hike took about 4 hours total, though a considerable portion of that time was spent looking through the camera lens! icon smile Lake Del Valle
