Through the Doughnut Hole

Yes, another evening out with the family and another beautiful sunset. Tonight we mosied over to Volunteer Park, you know…close to where Brandon and Bruce Lee are buried. Anywho, I thought the light was going to be a dud, as the dark clouds were moving in very quickly. However, I’ve learned from countless past mistakes, you just can’t tell. Well, this was one of those evenings. About 15 minutes after sunset, the sky lit up like a burning forest. I was already positioned with my telephoto lens looking through the “doughnut” artwork prominently displayed in the park. The opening nicely frames the Space Needle and the distant Olympics. In the picture above, you can just catch a bit of the Olympics near the bottom of the Space Needle. What a great evening this was!
