Today’s late afternoon clouds looked promising for a possible dramatic sunset. I decided to go to Blackwater NWR; I had just enough time to get to there and set up beforehand.
Mother Nature did not disappoint; it was spectacular, reflecting on Blackwater River.
If you missed your sunset today, I hope you enjoy ours from Eastern Shore Maryland. It was quite uplifting!
These are taken from the same location, just different directions around the sunset itself.

What a sunset! As the sky darkened, I packed up my gear and drove to the wildlife drive exit.
Suddenly the sky started to lighten back up. I turned left on Rt. 335 and drove to the Blackwater River bridge just down the road.
Sure enough, an encore occurred…..
