Fall Sunset at Foundry Bridge in North Tunbridge Vermont—A stunning fall sunset at Foundry Bridge in North Tunbridge, Vermont. The last visit was about five years and it was summer then. I found on Wikipedia that this is a historical landmark in Vermont and built in 1889 for $876 by the Vermont Construction Company of Saint Albans. The bridge is a single-span Warren pony truss, set on abutments of dry laid stone.

Minor Detail—Details are important even the forgotten.—Carlisle SC

Indiana Farm Sunset—Poneto IN—I prayed for a beautiful sunset for this day as I wanted it to end well.

Rolling Clouds Sunrise—Linville NC—I rose early at 3 a.m. and arrived at 6 a.m. with a short hike up to Rough Ridge Lookout on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I waited with my camera fixed to a tripod on a jutting rock in hopes of seeing a spectacular sunrise while the chilly mountain wind gently pushed against me. It was my first time seeing that many rolling clouds from my vantage point on a mountain trail.

Sentenced Silo—Robeson County, Orrum NC

Tuesday Night Sunset—Waxhaw NC—Tuesday had been long and busy. I left Waxhaw early morning at dawn and drove to Fort Mill, then to north Charlotte. Then stopped in South Carolina to take an hour nap before grocery shopping. Stopped for a haircut in Waxhaw and finished up more shopping before picking up supper and driving back through the heart of town. I started to see this sunset develop before I got to the drive-thru window and took a few pictures there and then stopped by the wide, open plain to shoot this moment of awe.
