Finding a place to shoot sunsets in the city can be a challenge. In Mesquite there are still some wide open spaces even within the city limits. On the bottom photo, although far away, you can see a crescent moon. I knew I had maybe five minutes max to take a few photos here. Photos taken with a Nikon D7000, shutter speed 1/60 sec, f/6.3, ISO 200 at 22.0mm focal length. These look like paintings to me me, the more I look at them. I can envision them on a canvas, hanging on a wall somewhere. Oddly enough I can’ t paint or draw, so I envy those who have that ability. Maybe that is why I don’t have any personal photos hanging in my home. This was just capturing a spec of elapsed time, in an ever changing sky, where the sunset will be different again tomorrow, and they day after that and the day after that.
