It was just one of those days. Went to Lake Havasu for their hot air balloon fiesta and got grounded due to high winds. They said they were going to at least light them up after dark so I hung around hoping to get a good sunset then some night shots of the London Bridge. It was pretty overcast so I wasn't hoping for much. But luck was with me and Mother Nature provided us with one of the best I've ever seen and I live in AZ where great sunsets are the usual. I did very little in post, mostly adding some contrast to deepen the shadows. Saturation is what I got from the RAW files. Hope you enjoy.

The sunsets are beautiful. There's a lighthouse in Arizona??? Isn't that unusual for a desert?

There are many replica lighthouses around the lake and they are functional and very well done.

Believe it or not, Arizona has more boats per capita than any other states. Can't have them bumping into the shore so, we have lighthouses.

Balloons grounded due to wind. I have balloon shots from Albuquerque that I will post.
