Downtown Twilight and Kissed by the Autumn Sun

Maybe it’s the farewell kiss of a sun heading south for the winter. The last warm kisses before the freeze. A promise that warm kisses will return in spring.

If you have even a passing interest in photography this is the time of year to get out and do it. Grab your camera on a late afternoon and go for a walk. I can pretty much guarantee you’ll be happy with what you get.
