Hmmm....well, I was shooting directly into the sun, and the sky was quite clear....
So maybe those conditions did the trick?
Glad you like these!
Did you see AirmensMom's? We decided it would be fun to bracket the same day with sunrise and sunset.....

27. I don't have a sunset photograph |
|
Yours are so lovely that they inspired me to search through the archives for one of my favorite Kodak moments. So let me paint you this picture in words, to thank you for sharing yours:
Memento
I was about to spend the weekend with my father at the drilling site, somewhere in northern Mexico. Dusk was approaching as we traveled a lonely dirt road winding through the hill country. There was nothing but chaparral, cactus, and the occasional wild pepper plant. And there was also mile upon mile of barbed wire fence. Suddenly he stopped the truck. He got out and motioned for me to follow. He went to the fence and leaned his forearms on the barbed wire and looked out to the horizon. I followed his gaze and saw that he was watching the sunset. Gray clouds were dissipating in the west. The sun was starting to fall behind the clouds, heading toward the high hills in the far horizon. The colors started to change. The bright blues became darker, while the clouds that were gray caught fire. A deep orange blaze came from the center of the clouds, as if we were looking into the heart of an open furnace, or Thor’s own forge. We stood there for a very long time watching this majestic sunset. The colors slowly faded back to gray, while the stars began to twinkle in the heretofore-empty blue sky, now inky black. Without a word my father stepped back from the fence and climbed back into the truck, and I followed. We continued all the way to the drilling campsite without exchanging a word.

Thank you so much for your eloquent words! I can see the sunset unfolding as you tell your story.....
The power of words is almost beyond belief, isn't it?
I am honored that you chose me to tell this to......Thank you again...

I thank you so much! Isn't it interesting how different folks like different pictures?
Hey, as long as you come by, and enjoy the view, who cares?!
It pleases me to share what beauty I find in my world!
Go and have a look at AirmensMom's thread....hers is the matching bookend to mine!
