Sunset HDR's at the Refuge Tetras

I've been catching up a lot on the HDRs from the trip this time and half to go back to the first night sunset. Here are a few from that evening ...

Refuge Tétras

Finally we arrived at the Refuge Tétras. This is a cozy cabin in the 'middle' of the park that in which you can reserve a bed. It holds up to 8 people and makes for a comfortable stopover at the end of a day of hiking. We arrived, put down our stuff, explored a little bit (particularly scoping out a spot for some sunset pictures later on) and sat down to eat. After eating we spent most of the rest of the evening watching the sun go down over the lake and the stars come out. Here are some images from in and around the Refuge that night. The first is of the lake beside which the Refuge is situated. The next ones are of the sunset (and the surrounding landscape including the cabin itself during the sunset). Finally, the last image is an Iridium Flare that we watched from the Refuge.

Californian Sunset

Here are the last couple from Torrey Pines Park in San Diego, CA. This was an absolutely gorgeous location to take pictures and although I spent over three hours taking it in it wasn't nearly enough. We had to be out of the park by a certain time and that time just happened to be exactly when the sun was going down so these last couple pictures were taken in a rush.
