Recession of Light
Sunset light filtering through clouds just adds to the dramatic effect.
Golden Fields
This view of the sun setting over a grain field was spectacular, providing wonderful foliage to catch the backlighting.
Golden Glow
This spectacular sunset caught my eye not only for the beautiful clouds, but the almost exclusively golden light.
Just Peachy
Clear sky sunsets are usually not very colorful, but this was a brilliant exception. The rolling hills and sparse trees added to the view.
Missouri Crossing
Humidity and smoke filtered most of the shorter wavelengths of light out of this sunset. This resulted in a dramatic red sun leaving its trail across the waters of the Missouri River.
Color Waves
Sunsets are almost always beautiful, but they are occasionally something really unusual. This view from Port Wing marina had wonderful high altitude clouds that stayed lit well after the sun was below the horizon.
Voyage Ends at Sunset
As the laker Stewart J. Cort comes into harbor the evening sun reflects off all all roughness on the smoke stack. The short days and long sunsets of winter bring out dramatic views until ice finally stops the ships.
Evening Pastel
Cloudscapes with sunset colors lighting them are always stunning, especially with water reflections involved at the same time.
Sunset Rays
Sunrays across a spring field filled with flowers. This picture was just as the sunset colors were starting to take over from the warm yellows of the golden hour.
Glow
This is another winter sunset from the shores of Lake Superior, featuring early winter ice sheets, and wet feet to get to the location this was taken from.
