Harry Lee's Last Sunset

My longtime friend, since college days at LSU, Harry Lee, died this morning after being diagnosed with leukemia in April. When I took this picture I could feel Harry's spirit leaving us. Harry fought every step of the way and as late as Saturday had taken his grandson fishing.
When I saw this bright red sunset yesterday I tried to get to the lake to get a better photo but traffic was too heavy. Harry was a first generation Chinese to New Orleans and the sun when I saw it yesterday was Chinese red. Harry was in the hospital on a respirator fighting for his life which ended this morning.
A picture taken a few weeks ago is at http://www.pbase.com/image/83130890.

The wires are such good symbols of a busy life full of accomplishments. This is a wonderful photo filled with meanings.

My condolences Coleen. I believe Harry would love this shot. Like you I try to avoid the wires--but sometimes they add more than they take away. Beautiful tribute.

It's always nice to find an intriguing silhouette to put in front of a nice sunset! Well done
