Day Twenty-Eight: Orange Colored Sky

I don't if it's that it hasn't happened before, or that I simply haven't noticed it, but the sky coming home from work has been exquisite lately.  Several times I haven't had my camera with me; other times it has simply been too cold to go out and capture the colors splashed across the sky.  Still yet other times, I'm deterred simply because in past attempts, I have never been able to capture the scene as I desired.

But yesterday, none of those factors came in to play: it was warm (enough), my camera (and all necessary parts) were with me, and I decided to throw my inhibitions to the wind.  My camera soaked up the pink, purple, red, blue, and orange tints that painted the western sky and left me with a variety of pictures to choose from.

I ended up selecting this photo both for it's composition (with the river being framed by the bridge...thanks for the suggestion, Pete!), because of the sunset behind the trees and the colors and trees that are reflected in the river. I really wanted to make this picture sepia because I feel like it captured the "winter" mood better than the color version, but then that would negate the whole sunset thing.  Maybe I'll have to post both versions later and let you decide which is better. :)
