A rather spectacular sunset from September, 2006. Strangely this was facing east so perhaps the evening equivalent of Alpenglo? One of those very brief windows of opportunity, 30 seconds earlier or later and almost no colour.
Olympus 3,2MP P&S camera.

Beautiful. I hate it when you get a brilliant sky like that but you can’t find a composition.

I normally don't do this but I'm posting two pictures of one before and the one after. The reason is Photoshop in my opinion done right can be positive to show the true essences of the image. The picture is of Nankin-Mills a Metropolitan Detroit Historical Site because it was one of Henry Ford's manufacturing plants.




More images can be seen on Flickr.

Astoria Oregon. While venturing from the RV site in the tow car, we visited Astoria over the bridge. My brother took me to the Astoria Column, a 125-foot tall column with an internal spiral staircase ascending to an observation deck at the top.

The column is covered in murals depecting significant events in Oregon

A gift shop nearby sells small balsa wood planes ($1) that people take to the top and let fly.

I love the perspective on this. Looks like the birds could pluck up the humans as a snack.
Agree with you. The photo is quite pleasant to look at; the birds are in focus, and so the people and things in the background (great DOF). There was another photo like that, except that instead of birds in the immediate foreground, it was a bunch of bubbles in focus, and people walking in the background. Again, great DOF :)

One of them tried (well, it landed on my 6-year old daughter’s head and swiped her sandwich!)
Ninja’d before I could even answer, but I was going to say, “Why eat a human, when you can just steal their lunch?”
