So there I was, walking out of the Harley shop when I saw this amazing sunset. I snapped this picture right away as I dashed for the truck, knowing that I was never going to get to a good location to catch this sky. I was right.

One thing about these amazing ND sunsets is that they last for only a fleeting moment. Within a minute or two, as I dashed towards the trolley bridge for a suitable foreground object, the brilliant reds of this sunset had faded to a subdued bluish gray. So, while I got a nice picture of the sky, I also got a not-so-flattering photo of Royce’s Produce. Darn.

So, how about a recycled photo of the blockhouses at Fort Lincoln and a little bit of magic (and love)? We’ll crop the sky a little tighter, remove the wires, and insert a more appealing foreground object:

I’m not in the habit of Photoshoping composites of my photos…but sometimes it’s fun to play. Especially when that perfect shot eludes me. This is one big one that got away…technically. But we can always whip up a consolation prize!
