Sun-chasing

I went sun-chasing with my wife and 2 little kids yesterday after I picked them up from school. We had talked about choosing between two possible places where we could catch a sunset (and maybe shoot it). In the end, we decided to go with the more scenic, albeit farther, choice.

We drove for about 30 minutes - we had timed it just right - we would get there 15 minuted before the sunset, in time to catch some great colors and watercolor sky like we'd witnessed several times before while driving past the site. 

UNFORTUNATELY, when we got there, the vegetation had grown very high, and it was difficult to get a nice frame of the setting sun. It made me realize that the world, indeed, looks different when you're seeing it through a viewfinder.

Today we're going to go after the elusive sunset again. This time, in our other choice location. Wish us luck.
