Fiery Sunset over the Snowy Valley

Photo of the Day 31/365

We got some significant snowfall a week ago and unlike other snows, this one just won't leave. The temperatures are so cold that the snow doesn't melt and what the sun softens turns to a nice crust on the 6+ inches of snow we have. I almost didn't get this shot. The parking lot where I can see this was barely plowed, but the stop was worth it. The colors of the setting sun were just outstanding.

Peeling Paint on Iron Railings

Saturday Colors: This photo was taken over 10 years ago. We were on a trip to St. Louis and my wife and I were out for a walk. The Mississippi had flooded and many riverside places were not completely cleaned up. The colors of this railing caught my eye. The blue outer layer, with the contrasting yellow underneath really caught my eye. The railing went all the way into the water. I wondered then (and now), why was it there? Those colors, though....

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.
