Clouds Blanket the Setting Sun

Photo of the Day 187/365

Last evening, I had no real hope for an interesting sunset. We had been out with friends almost all day - which was really nice.  There was blue skies, no clouds, and warm temperatures. The cloudless sky did not bode well for a sunset, but I was very surprised when I saw the sun being slowly covered by the blankets of clouds on the horizon. I was able to get out there with my "big iron" - a Sony A7IV and get the shot. I think it was worth it.

Sweeping Clouds and Jet Trails

Images Exposed Daily Photo Challenge

Sunday Monochrome:  This photo was taken earlier in the year on a late afternoon walk. The leaves were not out yeat and the sky had windswept clouds near the horizon. The jet trail seemed to sweep wiht the clouds, right along the tree line. I did not look as good in color as it does in black and white.

Sunset and Field Grass Photo of the Day 335/365 I took this photo over the Thanksgiving Holiday (here in the states). I was out for a very short sunset walk. I really wanted to catch the sunset itself, this time, so I left a little early. In reality, I left a little too early and it was a little cold, but I managed to hold and and try to get some good images. I really like how this one came out. I like the sunshine hitting the grass and the streaming clouds. It looks alot warmer than it was.

Covered Bridge in the Morning Snow Photo of the Day 339/365 I took this photo two days ago on the way to work. The snow had fallen, our first, measurable snow, and it was pretty cold. I found a spot I could pull over, just onto our campus, and took a few photos before I became too cold. I've always liked this bridge and captured it in all seasons - but I think the winter time is the prettiest time to photograph it - and the morning light made it even better.

Just Before Sunrise on the Farm Photo of the Day 335/365 I tookthis photo yesterday monring on the way to work. The pre-dawn sky was just so pretty that I had to stop at a few of my "pretty spots" to take a few photos. I've posted shots from here before, but I wanted a wider view when I saw how wide the colors had spread across the horizon. I feel that this is a good representation (no edits) of what I saw then.
