The Luminary Walk at the Overland Park Arboretum never disappoints. Today, the day after Thanksgiving, is the first of two weekends for the walk and the weather was perfect. It was a little crisp outside but not too cold.
We always get there early in order to set up to take photos before twilight occurs. As we were walking toward the pond, I saw what I thought was a painter. It turned out to be one of the sculptures the Arboretum has displayed. It truly looks like a realistic person. I couldn't resist talking a photo at sunset.
I've mentioned twilight before. It is a magical time of the day to photograph the sky and lights. It occurs for about 30 minutes after the sun sets. Twilight also occurs thirty minutes prior to sunrise. During twilight, the sky will photograph colbalt blue, turning darker and darker as the twilight period progresses. Below, are some photos from this year's luminary walk. Depending on the photographer's angle toward the sun, the sky may photograph a different shade of blue, but always blue during this period, regardless of whether it is clear, cloudy, party cloudy or even raining.
If you have a chance to get out to the Overland Park Arboretum Luminary Walk in 2013, it is well worth the trip. It is a family event with a campfire and horse drawn wagon rides. Fun!
