Made this one at Crater Lake, USA.

Do you get that feeling of desperation, to find the perfect spot and then the perfect composition, just when the light form the setting sun is perfect? I do, a lot. But once it’s over – the sunset/sunrise – I’m always happy with what I got, and there is always one of the compositions that I really like.
And over time I’ve learned to accept that’s how I work, and I think it’s a good thing, the desperation keeps me on my toes.

With today’s photo, there where no desperation at all, I knew that I wanted to go to this tree stumb. I just didn’t know that the light would hit it so perfectly.
