<\/center>This was the view from atop Hillside Park in Bismarck last night. I’d hoped to get a chance to stake out the sunset, but a 13-hour animating session kept me busy until just after 9 o’clock. After we checked the DVD master to make sure all was well, I dragged my tired butt into the truck and headed home, stopping by the park to grab as much as I could of the remaining color in the sky. This is the result of its waning moments.<\/p>\nHillside Park in Bismarck is one of my favorite vantage points for photographing sunsets in our fair cities. A good sunrise, sunset, or aurora photo is lacking if it does not have a good foreground object, and the Bismarck-Mandan area is a foreground near & dear to my heart. If you feel the same way, join me on the hill sometime! Don’t be afraid to come on over and say hello.<\/p>\n
The photo below is my favorite sunset photo taken from this area. I took it with a simple little $200 point-n-shoot digital camera in 2003. I believe it was mid-summer when the sun began to cross the horizon just behind the capitol building, it was a good catch.<\/p>\n
