capturing the sunset

see that City skyline, way off in the distance? That's Seattle! 

if you look closely you can see the space needle in the middle of it all. 

this is the exact same time the sunset pictures were taken. 

I was trying to capture two things here. 

1.) this is what our water tanks look like here in Washington. Someone came and painted all of them to look "easier on the eyes" than just the plain 'ol white ones.

2.) when the sun is setting {and sometimes after it sets} this is the deep blue color sky we see until around midnight. It gradually gets darker after 9:30, but the sky retains this beautiful deep blue color and you can still see the blue, even when its dark. I love it.
