I was shooting in the complete opposite direction, facing the sunset and the mountains. I had some nice rocks in the foreground that I really liked, but the color just wasn't there behind the mountains. Finally I bailed and walked to the other side of the peninsula to grab this shot of the insane cloud being lit up by the sun. As you can tell I was just a little late as the light had already started to fade from it, but something is better than nothing I suppose. #BVSquad
Stroll along the river, rent a bike or bcycle, or just check out the cool interior.
