Just north of yesterday's geodesic dome, behind The Carousel Grande Movie Theater, we stumbled upon this view of downtown Greensboro-- precisely at the moment before the sun dipped below the horizon. We snapped the shot and drove closer to get a better view and, poof, the sun was gone for the day. Serendipity is a big part of city daily photography. Some days we drive with a mission. Other days, we drive around and, when we least expect it, something catches our eye. On this day, the warm glow of a sparkling Greensboro twilight caught our eye. This is our contribution for Sky Watch Friday!
at this time of year, one must waste no time or the scene returns to the mundane.

You have managed to capture the sun's reflection just perfectly, serendipitous or otherwise. I agree that luck is a big part of being a CDPBr.

Serendipity is often the sine qua non of photography! One can't plan a shot like this where the sun's waning rays come to new life in a glorious burst of afternoon fire!
Nicely done!

Very pretty! There's definitely something about the quality of the light this time of year at sunset.

Oh a very nice catch - the sun, but in a golden reflection!
