Smoky Winter Sunset

Photo of the Day 27/365

This photo was taken last evening on a whim. I decided that I was tired of sitting inside so I went out for a sunset walk, despite the snow and cold. I got my sunset, although I almost missed it. The clouds near the horizon gave it a smoky feel, and the just-setting sun, made the photo. The mud on my shoes, however, did not make my wife very happy on my return.

Ice and Water at the Lake

Monday Fill-the-Frame: This photo was taken some time ago at our nearby state park. The ice was on the lake but just starting to recede. I liked the curving pattern in the water and decided to try to only include that element. I think it fits the "fill the frame" theme rather well without being a "macro" shot.

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.
