I spent so much time lamenting summer’s departure that I completely forgot how utterly amazing fall sunsets are.  Not sure what makes it so but when they happen, they’re always incredible.  When I moved back to the Emerald City I tried to find a place that faced west.  I was lucky enough to also score […]
