Description
I was waiting for the sun to go down and darkness to fall so I could make a run at photographing the 2023 Perseid Meteor Shower at Antelope Lake in Plumas County, California. I noticed some beautiful clouds on the western horizon. Knowing full well that those clouds could (and ultimately did) pose a challenge for shooting the night sky if they stayed around, I figured I may as well take advantage of them and shoot a sunset. I captured this image just after the sun dipped below the distant ridgeline, looking in the general direction of the Lost Cove Boat Ramp from a place known as the Eagle Lookout Fishing Access (although I’ve never seen a lookout, an eagle, or anyone fishing there – lots of pelicans and geese though).
