We were driving alongside Cobbosseecontee Lake last night on the way home from dinner.

The sun was setting and casting a fiery reflection on the water …

.

But I could never manage to get a decent photo of it from the road.

.

.

And as much as I wanted to pull into someone’s private driveway, get out of the car, climb up on their porch and take pictures… the husband wouldn’t let me.

.

.

Eventually we crossed a little bridge and caught a clear view of the sun…

.

.

But by then it was too far down to be truly magical.

Oh well, I tried.
