Fall pics that have nothing to do with trees

Some things you see in the fall have nothing to do with leaves changing color. They have to do with early sunsets and the like. Here are a couple.

A power line tower on a country road.

The thing is, I never intended to get a photo of the tower. I was there to get a shot of a tree that's across the road. The tree is in a cow pasture, and it's gorgeous in evening light, but I got there too late. Part of it was in the shadow of the embankment this tower sits on, so I turned around and got a dozen shots of the tower, and one happened to work. I still plan on shooting the tree soon.

And here's a damselfly out at Beech Fork on Sunday afternoon.


I could have gotten a better shot if I had a better lens. Maybe I'll buy one after I buy my kids new bikes, after my boys outgrow their wardrobes next week, after I have some repairs done to the house, etc.
A LifeNet helicopter flying overhead. At ground level, the sun was down and everything was in shadow, but you can see reflection of the setting sun on the chopper. Too bad I couldn't get it in focus.
