Disrupting flights

This C130 Hercules has been broke down on the runway for a few days, disrupting flights in and out of Butte for days. Thomas and I went out and photographed it from the Cemetery, standing in the pickup bed to try and get a better angle. The sun setting to the west highlighting the colors form the Berkley Pit really made it a unique image.

Thank you beth. The sun setting cast a great "golden light" which enhanced the colors of the Berkly Pit mine walls, and i will admit i added a bit of saturation, because my original image was too shadowy. I increased the exposure which lost some color. So i added a touch of saturation to be able to get the right muxture
