Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday late afternoon I saw there were some puffy clouds in the sky and that is my favorite sky to photograph.  So the biggest decision I had to make was where to go.  Since I hadn’t been to the mines of Spain area in some time I decided to try that.  Not a lot going on but I saw the soft rays of the sun catching the Julian Dubuque Monument and so I decided to take an image of it. 

Continuing to walk through the area I found this view of the river from high up.  No traffic on the river but I liked the way it was framed between the trees.  Remember you can click on any of the images to see a much larger and more detailed image.

Another view of the river looking the opposite direction.  I don’t go out on the river very often so I’m not really familiar with the different backwaters and when there is a division in the river like above.

It was getting late in the day and the sun was going down.  Those beautiful clouds had disappeared and all I was left with was a plain sky.  So I waited for 25 minutes until the sun finally went below the horizon to get this image of a family farm.  It would have been so much better with lots of clouds in the sky.

Enjoy your day and be careful.
