Sunset Sky over the Barn

Photo of the Day 194/366

I shot this photo earlier this week. We were out for a drive to get out of the house after a rough day. I didn't know where we were going - it was the wife's choice - but the company, the sunset and the local scenery made the trip worth it. I took more than a few of this farm, but really liked how this one turned out with the corn field and brilliant sky.

I've had this photo for more than two decades. Despite it's very plain appearance, I remember my place, my mood, and my thoughts when I took this photo.  I was in San Francisco for the first time on a business trip and had arrived the previous day. I was there alone and had time to burn so I walked to the event venue and noticed how few people there were and did some exploring. I looked down from one overhang and noticed this tree branch. It reached out over the concrete sidewalk but was below my position. I remember thinking how "zen" this looked.  I still think that.

Red Tinged Clouds over the Trees Photo of the Day 345/366 I took the photo last week on the way home. It was a wonderful sunset sky and I couldn't pass up taking a number of shots while it was available. These clouds with the red edges from the setting sun were a wonderful sight over these trees just behind the rolling field in the foreground. A nice evening sky for sure.

    Photo of the Day 307/365  Autumn Colors on Display by the Creek This photo was taken last weekend on our mini-vacation. We were on our way home and happened to find a pull-off - in the rain - and I took some photos by this creek. The colors just seemed to pop in the damp drizzly weather but the camera couldn't quite capture the bright colors. I didn't want to over-edit it but this is close to what I experienced that moment.

Tracks into the Sunset Photo of the Day 342/366 This photo was taken last evening on the way home from work. I took a number of photos and could not quite get the sun peeking through  the clouds. This is the closest I got. I love the colors in the sky and the reflections in the railroad tracks. I've taken this scene before, but it always makes me think of life moving on and on, rolling into the sunset of life - as I get older, those thoughts become more frequent.
