Willows Weeping by the River

Weeping Willows on the River Walk in Wyandotte, Michigan

Last night I went down to the River Walk in Wyandotte, to get some fresh air and watch the sun set.  The weather was in the upper 40's, and was very nice compared to the below freezing days we've had as of late. 

When I arrived, the sun was very low in the sky, and cast a warm orange glow over the ground and trees.  I found these two weeping willows alongside the river, bathed in the orange glow, and decided to make a frame.

A few minutes after I took this shot, the sun dropped down over the horizon and was gone.  The sky darkened, and the weather quickly turned colder.  Off in the distance, the Detroit Skyline popped up over the river, but I was without my 70-200 f/2.8, so that picture would have to wait for another day!
