Coming home from work on Friday I knew it was going to be a special sunset because at 5:15 pm the sun was already pretty big and very orange. It turned a wonderful red as it sank in the West and try as I might I wasn’t able to accurately capture that color. I’m close but not exactly what I saw. It was the reddest sunset I can ever remember seeing.
I went to my favorite place to shoot silhouette sunsets but the sun was in the wrong place for where I could get to so I drove further and had just about given up on finding anything. Then I noticed the lone grain silo in the distance and thought “what the heck” might as well shoot a wide angle sunset. 🙂
The above image is looking just North of the setting sun. I liked the way the light played off the puffy clouds.
The last Howrah as the sun sets in the west and it all of a sudden started getting very dark. Funny how that works. Although it was not what I had in mind when I started chasing the sun on this Friday, I’m actually quite pleased with the results.
As my friend Andreas says you should always turn around. As I was turning to walk back to the car this is what was in front of me. I had been so intensely focusing on the sunset that I had not paid attention to the beautiful clouds being bathed in the rich sunlight from the setting sun.
Enjoy your Sunday. Back to work tomorrow and thankful for that. Be careful and thanks for stopping by

Great photographs and nice capture of a difficult composition. I suspect the last picture (clouds to the east) will make a terrific large scale print as that will pull the village out more and add further depth and grandeur to the sky.
