Sunset from a Parking Lot

Uploaded by: bbend — Tuesday August 14, 2012 — Bismarck, ND (Current Weather Conditions)

The colors and clouds were some of the nicest of the summer but I was in a parking lot in Bismarck, thinking how nice it would be to be by a body of water to take these pictures!

Wow, thanks everyone! When I see these beautiful colors, I wonder how many people are too busy to stop and enjoy them- it really would be shame to miss something like this that only happens once- no repeats for this sunset!
Thanks again for your nice comments!

Thanks Wanda, Lori and Duane! Lori, I try to drag my camera with wherever I go- it's bordering on an obsession! But I would have felt terrible, if I wouldn't have been able to save this beauty to enjoy again!

About bbend
bbend From the small town of Martin, which is located in central North Dakota. I keep busy with commercial painting, grow small fruits and vegetables for sale, am the city assessor for Martin and I'm the new American Family Insurance agent in Harvey. Lots of stuff to learn in my new endeavor! One of my hobbies is taking pictures, which hopefully will dispel some misguided ideas that ND is a boring, flat, and always cold and snowy state!
