Twilight over Cheyenne Mountain

Yesterday was my birthday, and it's become sort of a tradition for me to blog a sunset picture every year on or around the big day. I had a job to shoot at the abbey (see yesterday's post), and on the way there I stopped at the overlook on Mesa Road to try and get a nice sunset shot. Alas, we had no real sunset to speak of, but we did have a lovely, gentle twilight. This is Cheyenne Mountain, where NORAD is located. I have actually been inside NORAD, if you can believe that. They have at times done tours, especially if you were well-connected, and my mom was well-connected. So I got to see the inside of the famous NORAD facility, and it was certainly interesting!
