Barn At Golden Hour

Barn Precisely At Sundown

As we driving back from Des Moines the Sun was setting so I quickly got off of the interstate and took this photo - note the golden glow on the barn, grass and plants.

Barn 1 Minute Later

Not one minute later the golden glow had subsided... 

The Sun Came Out

The rain quit and the sun came out - it hit the neighbors flag just right...

Chasing the Sun

After a week of cloudy and rainy weather - the sun came out and I decided to chase it. I caught up to at a bend in the Cedar River in Cedar Falls.

The sun is setting...

It goes down a bit farther...

As it leaves the sky it does leave a gorgeous view. A perfect end to the work week.

Sunset on Golf Course

We were driving home from choir last night and I noticed the sun setting on the golf course. I did a bat turn in traffic so I could get a picture. As I was printing this last night I noticed a bird at the top of the tree in the middle - it's probably an Eagle "taunting" me. I'll get a good picture of an Eagle some day...


I was playing around with the photo and ended up painting it with Corel Paint4. It turned out pretty good.
