Crane Silhouette
The sun was quickly setting while the cranes were still flying in to this pond to roost for the night. The lighting/colors change quickly at the fringes of daylight in New Mexico, and if you get the bonus of some clouds it can be quite spectacular. Unfortunately there were very few clouds the days I was there. For some brief moments the almost departed light was hitting the water just right to image this silhouette. Most of the photographers had already left for the night. I am glad I stayed a bit longer to shoot. The Bosque del apache is truly a magical place. 1/20/2014.
