Road Trip: Sunset in Merino, Colorado

[singlepic id=457 w=320 h=240 float=left]

This was a short trip during the late afternoon on Halloween.  While many people were partying at places made up to look scary, I was looking for places that were actually scary.  I drove the side roads that run along Interstate 76 as the afternoon light grew shorter.  I came to the town of Merino about 15 minutes before the sun went down.  The old train buildings and the grain silos gleamed in the low angle light, and a few pools of melted snow provided a couple opportunities for reflections.  On the way to the Interstate I found an old truck near an abandoned silo, the light was right for one more shot.

Images taken as HDR, five frames over two stops.  Nikon D300, various lenses.
