Chasing the Sun | Radnor Lake
The sky was cloudy. The weather was humid. The spiders were EVERYWHERE (I'll get to that later).
But most importantly, the sun was going down - FAST. We had 30 minutes until sunset.
AND SO IT BEGINS...
It was roughly 7:30pm when we pulled into the Visitor Center Parking Lot at Radnor Lake State Park.
There wasn't a soul in sight - just me, my camera, my girlfriend, and about 50 million spiders - I wish I was joking.
Now - to be clear, we never technically SAW any spiders .
BUT we walked through roughly 12 million spiderwebs on the way to the waterfront.
It was what nightmares are made of.
But we carried on, nevertheless.
TIME FOR THE PHOTO OP
We arrived at the PERFECT TIME. The clouds had just opened up and the light was dancing off the lake. Take a look...
This was our peak light, for sure. And It went away quickly.
The atmosphere turned dark and moody after that.
But here's the thing, I WAS HERE FOR IT...
NOTHINGS WRONG WITH FEELING A LITTLE EMO
We decided to call it a day. It was getting dark and I felt content with what I'd captured.
BUT before we journeyed back, we were joined by a friend...
"COME ON IN, THE OTTER'S FINE"
Maybe?
I'm not really sure what it is to be honest.
But an otter-like animal took a little swim by our feet.
We didn't bother her. She didn't bother us. A mutual bond was struck.
A tender moment.
We waved goodbye to our friend and headed back to the car.
MARTINI SHOT
We thought we were finished. We really did.
But seconds before reaching the end of the walking path, a baby bit of light peaked through the clouds.
This was the last light of the day, so I scrambled for the perfect spot.
I found it! Just in time too.
The tree limbs framed the lake and surrounding hills PERFECTLY.
I lined up the shot and hit the shutter...
Oh baby!! That's it. That's the one. The money shot!!
The shot that made the spider infested voyage worth it.
And just like that - another adventure in the books.
Until next time...
