Sunset Along the Kaw
Kansas (Kaw) River, Lawrence, Kansas--a photo taken and uploaded two years ago, now with a significant upgrade (slowly, slowly, I continue to get better at digital processing). Since my hard drive is in the shop right now, the last few days I've just been upgrading older images like this one.
Best viewed in lightbox, i.e., click on expand arrows at upper right.
A sunset experienced last summer (2022) from the Kansas River Bridge. Sunsets are known for their ephemeral natures, so as I was driving over said bridge, I knew I had to find a parking place pronto, which I did on the north end at Johnny's Tavern. I then grabbed my camera bag and at full sprint, retraced my "steps," which was about 400 meters. It's been a good while since a sprinted 400 meters, so I was definitely out of breath. As you see, I managed to capture the scene before it evanesced to nothing. Not wanted to use a high ISO, I used the railing along the bridge to help steady my hand, and--out of breath or no--held my breath for each shot.
This is a Pano combining four photos.
The map here identifies the place as "Lawrence, Lawrence, Kansas." It isn't like NY, NY--it wasn't named by a stutterer, it's just plain "Lawrence, KS."
