Last Night's Incredible Sunset At Boca Reservoir

in #photography4 years ago

Last night's sunset was an incredible one! I had seen on the MySunset app that it was forecasted to be good. So I grabbed my camera and headed to Boca Reservoir, about 15 minutes from my home in Truckee, California. I was at this area a couple of days before, checking out the Lupine wildflower bloom with my puppy Quill so I knew this would make a great spot to catch a sunset. Fortunately, it was a Sunday evening so all the cars that normally line the lakeshore this time of year had already headed home. Lucky me, I had the area to myself, it was incredibly peaceful and scenic.

Here are a few photos:

Above - My Nissan Pathfinder. I was feeling inspired by the cool photos @Jarvie posts of his truck at scenic locations. Hope you like this one of my ride @Jarvie!

And here I am below. It was hard not to smile out there.

Woow I love levanders.

Glad you like them! They are actually Lupine wildflowers but yes, they look a lot like lavender. Cheers!

Really? I thought it was lavender. they are very similar to each other. thank you very much for your information.

No problem

Wow beautiful and to have it to yourself, NICE! hard to pick my fav. I do like the car shot!!

Haha! Glad you like the car shot @sjarvie5!
And yes, it was incredible to be there by myself, especially this time of year. There were a few cars there earlier but they took off about 15 minutes before sunset. Cheers!

Isn't that funny when people leave before sunset? I guess it is good for us photographers to have the regular tourist leave when we come!

I love it when they do that! Also, I figured Sunday might be a better day out there for less people than Saturday.

Beautiful sunset and Lavender.

Haha very nice

Glad you like that! Cheers!

The colournin the sky is breathtaking! I loved the first two photos. It would be impossible not to smile when you enjoy such an amazing scenery. Thank you for sharing, this was relaxing to watch
