Evening light goes through the slats in the bleachers, creating strong diagonals upon more diagonals. The patina on the metal shows up too, illuminated by the ambient light. The leaves on the ground create a counterpoint of texture to go with the metal.

While up on the hill waiting for fireworks, I was treated to a great sunset. There’s a little reflection on Briggs Pond down at the bottom. I like the range of blues and oranges. This scene comes from a time before the Spotted Tail Wildfire. Look at the wonderful trees in the foreground, helping to frame the scene.
