One of my last of numerous amazing and beautiful sunset scenes shot from the National Weather Center during 18 years working there full-time, this beauty graced the sky during an evening shift just under three months from retirement. I knew I would miss the people with whom I worked, and a job I loved. I wouldn’t miss the unhealthy sleep rotations, dealing with bureaucratic stupidity, and one-size-fits-all governmental edicts from distant and detached suits and ties. But this made me realize how much I would miss these laughably easy, open-sky sunset opportunities from just a couple levels above the one I worked. Here, I didn’t have time to go up the elevators to view and shoot from the top deck, so I ran up the nearest stairwell with west-facing windows.
