Originally posted by blues_hawk It happens very fast sometimes and I've scrambled and still missed the best of it more than a few times despite this view being less than a mile away. Of course I've also planned it so I could ride my bike and was greeted with drab or plain. How it goes I guess.
I was leaving work the other day and there was a gorgeous sky, with a huge sun sitting on the horizon, but most of my drive home is very heavily wooded and there wasn't anywhere all that good that I could think of to get the picture. I tried going to the hill the school in my hometown is on, but by the time I got there, the sun had already sank and the colors were gone and I was kicking myself for leaving work late. I've been trying to catch another one, but it's been pretty much solid clouds every day since then. Today was finally clear with some clouds, but it didn't have the over-sized looking sun nor the colors.
