 Bev and I went out twice for this last week. We did the Tacony Palmyra Bridge by where she used to live. I found the last image to be real sharp but when I processed it, blech with the colors. Just awful. That was more about the bridge so OK. On Friday we went back to the Camden Waterwalk and shot again. The cloud, sunlight and color combo was excellent. Trouble is, the base of the image. Had to go with the riverfront again. The sky behind center city had next to no color in it....the main attaction was to the south. Great sky and one of the prettiest sunsets I've seen in a long time.

Shot with camera on tripod and cable remote.

Thanks, Bev.

Remind me to order you some more dipping spices.

Good shot, but the sky is too distracting. It pulls your eyes in too many directions.

Very colorful/saturated, I think the composition is nice, I wish the lights from the buildings were a bit brighter.
