Bannack Alpenglow

After an afternoon digging crystals at Crystal Park in the Pioneer Mountains, we rolled into Bannack just after 7pm. I love shooting in Bannack but with just over an hour before sunset, I had to choose my targets carefully.

I took this shot as I was trailing the family back to the car. If you know Bannack, you'll recognize that I'm facing east - another valuable example of how you should always look behind you during a sunset to make sure you're not missing the best show over your shoulder. This is the main street in Bannack - you can see the old Meade Hotel (the tall brick building) on the left. I used a little fill flash to open up the tree framing the shot.
