Sunset


Lately I've been showing photographs of the sunrise, but this evening, I photographed the evening sunset.   I was struck by the contrast between the natural lines created by the gnarled bur oak limbs and the crossing angles created by the contrails just above the horizon.

  6. Just happened upon this blog and wanted to say what a great photo this is! Presents a very dramatic perspective with this gnarly tree! I especially love the photo at the top of your page. Brings back memories of visiting an abandoned old farmhouse out on the prairie in Ohio.
