I don&#8217;t know what was in the sky that it was so hazy, but the haze diffused the sun quite nicely. Once our evening was over and the family was home, I took off to see what kind of opportunities this might present photographically.

I watched it reach the horizon and the reflections disappear from the river. I packed it in for the night. Relish these sunsets now, for the winter will bring hazy, dreary skies.
