Yesterday, the sky over Bellefonte, PA was ripped apart by color and clouds. I know every sunset is unique and special, but I had never quite seen something like this. Rushing home from the grocery store, I frantically tried to take a picture on my 1.3 megapixel phone from pre-Revolutionary War times. Gripped by panic, I parked in front of my apartment building and charged up the steps, nearly breaking my key off in the lock. The entire town was engulfed in this pinkish haze as the sun began to disappear. I grabbed my tripod and camera, quickly throwing on my wide-angle lens and sprinting across the street to the park there.
Mud sloshed through my sandals, and I was in shorts despite it being mid-January in central Pennsylvania. Reaching a rickety bridge crossing a stream through the park, I threw open the tripod legs and quickly attempted to frame the shot…
…and then a child began running across the suspension bridge, sending it swinging and rocking as her father stomped along behind her. The sun was gone, the last bright pinks and purples fading away to grey as the bridge finally became still again. Sighing, I snapped off a few merely out of principle and trudged home.
