Catching a Durham Sunset

It's not easy to do folks. In order to catch a Durham sunset, you have to do one of two things: (1) Execute a "drive-by shooting" while driving on the highest freeway overpass (dangerous and really not that scenic), or (2) Drive about 15 miles to Jordan Lake.

The sun sets right on the lake, and while you can pull off just near the highway and dodge whizzing cars, tonight we found a secret trail that leads right down to the lake. It was an unbelievably beautiful night, so peaceful. There wasn't a sound except the lapping water and a few fishes who jumped up out of the water to shoo us out of their quiet little home.

We left reluctantly. And even as we did so, there was a deep pink sky behind us. Pretty place, this Durham.

Just before we left, the moon came into the shot. See upper left corner. :)
