Sometimes it’s all a matter of perspective.
I took a walk around Henderson Lake in Lethbridge with my college girl. Early December, the sun set early. We trudged through drifted parking lot snowbanks to the cleared lakeside path just as the sky turned golden. Glorious warm light bathed trees to the east; perfect silhouettes looking west.

I especially like the sun on the tree bark. Just before sunset is the perfect time to warm up colors. I’ve found this to be especially true in the Southwest.
Thanks John. SW at sunset – totally agree! One of my favourite photos is a sunset shot at the petrified sand dunes behind Dance Hall Rock (Hole-in-the-Rock Road, Escalante).
