This is not the best picture I have taken but lately for me it has been one of great significance. This beautiful sunset was taken on the closing at the Alexa Rodheim Cutler memorial at Elk Grove High School. Her memorial assembled over a thousand friends and family that paid tribute to a beautiful person with and unselfish heart that was taken down with breast cancer at the age of 29. It seemed like the perfect closing, the perfect tribute...except this one came from high above. This photo was published in the Perspective column in the print edition of the Daily Herald.
