First after work photo of the year

This is the first photo I've managed to take outdoors
after work this year, not counting Tuesdays when I
finish early.
Walked out from a long session covering the District
Court to see the Maid of Eireann statue, which
stands in front of the courthouse, silhouetted
against this great sunset.
Now that the evenings are getting brighter, I hope to be able
be able to get out and about with my camera, most likely
with Fudge in tow.

Olympus E-P1
1/20s f/9.0 at 33.0mm iso200 full exif

What a beautiful scene to greet you as you left work. Amazing how much longer the days are getting. At least on the north half of the globe!

the Maid makes a strong point of interest, yet there are many key elements in this richly evocative scene..a grand welcome to the return of evening light...V

Exquisite composition. Lovely sky but a most imposing silhouette of the statue. V

Yes, it's just about light on the way home these days - things might finally be looking up - photographically at least :o)
Cracking silhouette and mock-sun :o)

Lovely sunset colours

The colours on this are stunning, and the arrangement of the silhouetted statue and bare trees very powerful. And this from the Olympus too. The dusk is your friend. I don't usually say it even when I do, but to emphasise the point, "voted".
