The sunsets have been really amazing with intense red and oranges from the smoke. On Friday, I headed to a park that had some elevation above power lines to capture the sunset. This was a park that I discovered that day &#8212; Kunming Park. This park used to be called Rosedale Park, but was renamed when Kunming became a &#8220;Sister City&#8221;. At the park there are three boulders that were imported from Kunming, China. The orange light from the sunset really enhanced the color of the boulders.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6353\" style=\"width: 551px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/matchgrun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1595-0005-Kunming-Park-Boulders.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6353\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6353\" src=\"https:\/\/matchgrun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/1595-0005-Kunming-Park-Boulders.jpg\" alt=\"1595-0005-Kunming-Park-Boulders\" width=\"541\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6353\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kunming Park Boulders<\/p><\/div>\n<p>About this time, several people had arrived at the park, mainly locals, to enjoy the sunset at the end of the work week.
