Evening at Palace Butte


When I used to live near Bozeman, Montana, a place I visited often was Hyalite Canyon, just south of town. One evening late in the summer of 2009, I drove into the canyon until the Forest Service access road ended at the Hyalite trailhead.

By that time, there was no more sunlight in the canyon, but west of the canyon, the setting sun bathed Palace Butte and the nearby peaks in a warm glow. It was a great view, so I set up my tripod and captured several photos.

Recently, I was looking at the Palace Butte photos again and realized that darkening the sky in Photoshop would really bring the viewer's attention to the sunlit glow on Palace Butte...which was what I wanted to share all along. So here is the result. I hope you enjoy it.
