Description
Setting at home Friday with photography on my mined, I decided to get in the car and take my self on a photography junket. I packed a quick bag, all my camera equipment my laptop and its accessories made sure everything was turned off and out the door, I went. Then back again just to check everything one more time. You know to make sure I didn’t forget to unplug this or that, the stove really was off and the lights were truly out, this was about 1 PM. That way when I got to the motel or where I was going which I had no idea at the time except the direction, east. I wouldn’t start wondering did I turn that off only to have that thought stuck in my mined the rest off the night, LOL.
I wound up at Robbers Cave just before sundown in far southeast Oklahoma, had a short time to look things over and decide where I wanted to start shooting the next morning. Then back to town to find a place to stay for the night. I started the next morning about 7 AM there at Robbers Cave and wound up that evening on the Talimena Scenic Drive taking my last shot around 8:30 PM. I stopped at Wister Lake and a place that I found called Coon Creek Pond before making it to Talimena Drive. I hit the drive at about the center after checking out Cedar Lake no shot taken there the only real bust of the day. Then I headed east on the scenic drive taking shot along the way, I found it to be just as beautiful in the summer as it is in the fall decked out in its full array of fall colors. I made it to Mena Arkansas and had supper. Then back on the drive west bound to catch the sunset.
After making it back to one of the scenic views I found earlier I waited for the sun to go down to take a few shots. The Talimena Drive goes across the Winding Stair Mountains and through the Ouachita National Forest, pronounced (Wosh-I-taw). This is one of the last shots of the day and I have to admit it I was worn out, but had a great day. Now it was time for the 3-hour drive back home. I’m still wondering why I didn’t spend the night somewhere and drive home the next morning rested, but all I come up with is I don’t know.
Thanks for stopping by and for any comment you care to leave.

Beautiful sunset. Like the layers of faintly lit mountains and loved your narrative about your junket. I don't do that often enough myself. Last night I drove to the beach on Puget Sound near our home to specifically take sunset shots...you may see them posted soon...I took a series as the sun sunk lower and lower then disappeared all together. So now out of 93 shots, I have to pick about three for a collage:) Aren't digital cameras great...I never would have done that with film.
Beautiful capture and shot !
absolutely fantastic vista and capture!
awesome capture
great sunset
you drive home to save money lol i done that before. any way this is worth it all here
Gorgeous blended lighting and silhouetting in this late day shot! I would comment on your narration but barely had the time to read it.
An instant favorite.
