An October 5th, 2008 colorful sunset over Lake Michigan, taken from within the Indiana Dunes National Lake Shore.
Of the 27 pictures taken that trip, both this and Beach – Untitled #45 were chosen for our Etsy Shop, “AbbasImages.”
Having grown up in this area, it was interesting to see, as the year and seasons progressed, how the sun set further and further toward the south. I have taken pictures where the sun is setting right behind the Chicago skyline which, though not visible in this picture, would have been visible from this vantage point. But, since it is getting late in the year, the sun, as it does every year, at this latitude, sets further and further south until, around the winter solstice, it begins its setting further and further northward . . . and on and on.
