Backroad to a Dark Sunset

Photo of the Day 173/365

On a road trip this weekend, we were trying to find locations for future sunsets and hoped to be able to catch a sunset. Unfortuantely, the rain clouds had other ideas. My wife decided to go down a road through a local game lands. As we topped a hill, I asked her to stop the car and back up just a bit. I found this view of this road going into the cloudy sunset. The clouds did give way later but I thought this looked dramatic.

Field Grass Down to the Cove


Images Exposed Daily Photo Challenge

Monday Free-Choice: On our Maine vacation, I purchased a wooden box of slides. In going through these slides, I found that this gent had the same ideas and basic photographic view that I have. The images are all in New England and Eastern Canada. The images were also taken about 60-65 years ago. I will post some photos from this collection over time to honor his images. This one was of an unidentified cove and the field that led down to it.

Bare Trees After Sunset Photo of the Day 326/365 I took this photo on the way home from work last evening. I was in a hurry to get home, so I only managed 3 photos in the short time I had.  Also, due to the light, the phone washed out the colors, so I had to boost the saturation a little bit to get the photo to what I saw when I took it. I really like the subtle colors in the sky, from pink to blue.

Cliffs in Acadia (wish I was there again) Photo of the Day 165/365 This image, which I took last week, was taken at Raven's Nest on Schoodic Peninsula within Acadia National Park - in Maine. This area of the country is, indeed, my happy place. I have been there more than 20 times and I can ALWAYS find something wonderful and breathtaking to photograph. My younger self might have moved there, but life doesn't alway give you what you want, so I must be happy with visits and memories.

 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!
