After indulging in a lobster at the Gilded Otter last night, I walked home and decided it was too early and too nice out to go sit in my ice box of a house. So, I grabbed my new camera bag (the jury’s still out on this one) and tripod (getting the carbon fiber tripod was the best decision ever, I can actually carry it around and really use it) and took a walk around town. As the sun went down and civil twilight set in, I slowly walked through town watching the light change and snapping pictures. Summer in New Paltz is an interesting time…something you have to be around to see. I plan on getting out on some more nights to try to get pictures of more storefronts and restaurants as the sun goes down. Here are a few.
