I was out looking for a new location to shoot, somewhere local but a place I haven’t tried.  Earlier in the day I’d looked at mapquest to see if there were any parks near work and I found Clyde Beach Park in Bellevue that overlooked Lake Washington.

The sun was starting to go down when I arrived and the water was really calm.  I liked the fact that the sun was going to fall over the peninsular and there was a guy sat at the end of the peer just staring out over the water.

The sky also had a nice orange tint and after shooting lots of cold blue and grey skies it made a great change.

The only downside is when you shoot directly into the sun you are going to get some lens flare, and I wasn’t let down.  Fortunately it doesn’t hurt the image too much.

The halo guys found an old etch-a-sketch and I have to say I was very impressed with their image!
