This sunset at Tom McCall Preserve near Rowena, Oregon is probably one of my best, if I can say so! Conditions were just what landscape photographers dream of for images of lots of colorful flowers backlit by the sun. There was next to no wind and the Columbia Gorge Broad-leaf Lupine and the Northwestern Balsamroot were at peak bloom.
