Lars here from @larsleberphotography with my third and last takeover post for today. This is a long exposure photo capturing the end of a very nice sunset. I took this photo from Palmer Park. You can see the traffic flowing on Union Blvd and Austin Bluffs Pkwy. Pikes Peak is visible in the background.
