Looking at the electrical towers. By following these, one gets nearer to the center of the marsh at Troy Meadows. I head that way in winter to view Northern Harriers.

I turned around and called it a day because the sun was setting. There is much more of Troy Meadows to explore.

All photos taken on my Blu Life One X2 cell phone with the camera set to HDR mode.  Click above to purchase from my Amazon affiliate link. For ~$200 this 1.4ghz processor and 16 megapixel camera were a good value to me. I have been relying on this unlocked cellular phone for months.
