Flaring Sunset Clouds throught the Trees

Photo of the Day 223/365

Just when I was leaving my son's home this past weekend, I noticed that I had missed the sunset, but I could still see lots of color in the sky. I took a brief walk to get out from under the local power lines. I did my best to zoom in and capture what remained of the sunset clouds and the looked like they were flaring up - almost like little flames coming from behind the trees.

My Leica

Images Exposed Daily Photo Challenge

Monday Fill-the-Frame: This photo is an image of one of my favorite cameras.  Doesn't every photographer want a Leica?  It's the top tier of cameras and it was one of my dreams.  However, the brand is well out of my reach. This one has a story - I had a studio, did wedding and portraits and such - and one of my clients, years after his wedding - called me up and asked if I wanted his dad's old caameras. I, of course, said yes, but never expected to see this. I asked how much he wanted and he said notthing - it was give it to me, or throw them out and he decided that I could have them. A Leica for free - who could have known.

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.

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.

    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.
