Everyone loves a generic sunset over a generic lake!
(This is actually Echo Lake, which I suppose is a very specific lake.)

As far as I can tell, this nifty light effect was caused by the setting sun casting a shadow from the Second Watchung Mountain onto the First Watchung Mountain.
(On the map, the photo location is indicated [approximately] by a little pin-marker-thing.)
The red is entirely from the sun, not leaves. Believe me, this time of year? No colors anywhere.
Bonus fact: This is Seeley’s Pond.
Thanks for helping me choose NPDP’s 2011 photo of the year! You rock!
“Sunrise” was originally posted February 18, 2011, after the existing snowcover got a fresh coating of ice.

Sometimes sunsets are breathtaking, and sometimes they’re just pretty, and sometimes you miss them entirely.
But most of the time, it’s good practice to watch them anyway, if you can.

As I’ve said: I’m a fan of sunrises.
Tangent: I did virtually no post-processing on this photo (aside from nudging the black point up a teeny smidgen).

I’m a sucker for sunsets. I haven’t seen that many good ones since I’ve lived here, unfortunately; there are usually a mess of trees and houses in the way. (But I’ve seen loads of lovely sunRISES! I just usually don’t have my camera with me on the morning commute.)
But anyway: in case you doubted it, here is proof that New Providence does indeed have pretty sunsets sometimes.
