With this image, I begin a new series, the 2008 memorial day weekend road trip, which began in Reno, Nevada some 3 hours drive from the bay area.

Picture shows dusk falling over the Reno arch.

Go and visit the Sky Watch page and enjoy all the marvelous sky photos of other participants.

Wow. The depth of field in this makes it almost three-dimensional! Really jumps off the page.

Lovely photo for SWF. This little city looked very busy. I guess at night it would come very much alive.

That's a fun shot. I like how the lights are just starting to turn on and it's getting to be dusk. I haven't been to Reno in ages. Greetings from the Bay Area. Linnea

I spent a few days in Reno for a project a few years ago. Nice little town and I liked some of the scenery around their. Much nicer than Las Vegas.
