Cannery Sunset Again

The average person in the world these days gets to see 23,725 sunsets in a lifetime. That's a pretty big number. I happily spent many of my early sunsets playing in the backyard, in pickup games of street baseball, or on boy scout camping trips. But considering I'm now on #12,462, over halfway thru most people's allotment, I realize that sunsets are not to be taken for granted, especially the colorful ones. Sitting at the computer updating my blog as the sun says goodbye to another day is not how we are supposed to spend our sunsets.

So last night, with the light getting low and clouds filling the sky I headed back out to the old cannery to try shooting the rubble again. The gate wasn't wide open like last time but was still more than accessible for a skinny guy and his camera. I got there early enough to do a little exploring.


I like the way the colors in the graffiti compliment the sky.


repeat from last time but with a sturdy tripod


finally the moonlit train tracks outside the cannery
