Mindin' my business
When out of the orange colored sky..."
Nat King Cole
When Nat King Cole sang about an orange-colored sky, this might have been what he had in mind. This is a sunset on Fairfield Lake, a small lake south of Dallas. The lake was originally created in the late 1960s for the Big Brown power station as a cooling pool. Because the water stays warm in the winter months, it has weekly fishing tournaments from November through February. We sometimes stop here on our way home from a road trip.
