Three weeks ago my husband and I decided to take a few days off and visit Pittsburg and I'm sure glad we did because I don't think I'll capture a shot like this one ever again. We had been driving up and down Moose Alley (Route 3) looking for you guessed it moose, and as the sun sank lower and lower amazing colors of pinks and oranges painted the sky. At one point we had pulled over for several minutes near a promising moose hangout spot and I lost track of the changing sky. When I came back to reality and looked up I could hardly believe the magnificent purples that were transforming the sky to darkness. Since purple happens to be my favorite color I was memorized by the gorgeous colors and amazed that the sunset had created such a breathtaking night. While I was taking the photographs of the sky I was really only trying to capture the colors themselves. At the time I was uninterested in what else was in the shot, I only wanted that purple sky. It was after I came home and downloaded my photos onto my laptop that I realized how awesome the silhouetted trees look as well. I really must say this is one of my favorite photographs and was by far the prettiest colors I have ever seen emerge from a sunset.
