Description


People were giving me some pretty strange looks the other day when I shot this, when there was a beautiful setting sun behind. I had something in mind, but still working on it LOL

If they could only see me now :)

Your comments and/or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
And have a great week ALL!
