Sunset.

The sun sets behind Lone Mountain into the Pacific.
I was leaving my house when I glanced out the window and saw this scene. I rushed to get my
camera and managed to capture the sun saying goodnight.

505s.....Not!

Fog, that's what I got. The photos of the 505s sucked, so I sucked down some wine and took a photo of a wine glass with my Canon A620. It's an abstract.
