Crazy Pretty Sunset

I had some time to kill this afternoon after work, so I headed down to Seacrest Park in West Seattle. I was banking on a pretty cool sunset reflecting off the buildings. I was not expecting the moon positioned perfectly above the Columbia Tower!

PS. I love this D300. Just saying.

    Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed looking at it, I can’t say I enjoyed taking it! Brrr! Ha, dot the I. I didn’t even think about that. :) Thanks. :) I think I missed Rachel and Brittney by about 10 minutes too! Yeah, I was prepared to take the picture, but not for the cold. The breeze coming off the water was brutal!

    yeah, I think we were at the same park. so funny! We got there right after sunset, though, so the moon was a little higher. :)
