On the thirtieth, I decided a great picture to finish out the year would be one of the sunset. So, whilst carving away at my walking stick, I monitored the setting sun to get an idea of when I would need to get all set up to capture some shots.

And thus, on the afternoon of the thirty-first, LH and I headed out for a scenic overlook off of the interstate to photograph the Peak at sunset.

The cold, strong winds that blew all day long kept the sky clear of clouds, making the sunset rather void of the bright oranges and pinks that the end of the day is so infamous for; however, a small rim of yellowish-orange hung around the very edges of the mountains.

Our little tripod and my mom's ever helpful camera were such useful tools in this project and turned out some shots that I'm very much satisfied with.

I highly recommend a larger size.
