Sunset Sky over the Valley

Photo of the Day 97/365

I took this photo this past weekend on the way home from dinner. My wife and I were traveling I noted to her that we were too early for sunset. We still drove across a number of back roads, but the sun was too bright. On our last stop, we went to one of my favorite spots, and there were clouds encroaching on the late afternoon sun. I decided to try to get what I could. I used the wide lens and did a little editing, and this view matched what I saw.

Gateway Arch in the Afternoon

Images Exposed Daily Photo Challenge

Tuesday Built, Found, and Painted: This nationally known monument is one of my favorites to photograph, especially in the afternoon light. The metallic finish of the arch just catches the glow of sunset clouds, and it is so high that it allows the sky to show through. I need to get back there this year.

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.

Reds in the Sky before the Dawn Photo of the Day 24/365 I had been hoping for a nice sunrise yesterday morning but there was a huge sweeping bank of clouds right where the sunrise would be. But as I looked closer, I saw the pinds and reds at the horizon and thought that if I cold make them the focus, I could get a good photo. I tried to frame that part of the sky with a nearby tree and I think I got what I wanted.

 Streamers in the Dawn Sky Photo of the Day 241/365 I found this scene on the way to work yesterday morning. As the days move on in the year, the sun rises earlier and earlier. The sun was actually higher in the sky than I'd like for a sunrise photo, but I zoomed out to the widest setting I had so that the sun would appear lower in the sky, and the streaming clouds would reach up into the blue. I really like how this image came out!
