Nikki McDonald level-classic December 29, 2007

Beautiful scene, beautiful sky. I know I'm often amazed by the way the sunset or sunrise is reflected 360 degrees. I'm thinking this must be a forest watch tower and not a tower your local firemen climb to look for house fires ?? Now you'll have to climb it again for a Sunrise West shot as well as again for Sunset West and Sunrise East shots. Looking forward to them. #5264517

Sam Britt December 29, 2007

Beautiful, Mel. Definitely well worth the climb! #5266268

I love this, Mel. The scene is naturally beautiful and the sunset light adds a color and glow--not only to the sky but also to the landscape--that can't be beat. I'm just so glad you resubmitted--congratulations on the well-deserved Editors Pick. #5326720
