Description

Caught my neighbor shooting the sunset with his camcorder, so with my last shot before the battery went dead, I got this one.

So appropriate! Not just another sunset but one with a photographer in it! Love the title, too. #471653

Carolyn M. Fletcher level-classic April 10, 2004

Thanks Kenton and Bonnie! I have 2 neighbors (weekenders) who follow me around when I'm out shooting with their cameras so I can show them what to shoot. Please note, none of us are famous yet. LOL #471656

Well, I beg to differ Carolyn, you're famous, and not just for your sunsets and this one's certainly no exception. Don't you carry a spare battery with you? That's surprises me, as you always seem so charged up with life. Exceptionally well done, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan #471767

Carolyn M. Fletcher level-classic April 10, 2004

The battery was in the house and I was on my way back up to get it when I turned around and saw this and decided to see if it would squeeze out one more shot. It did. #471777
