Photographer’s Note
In my little quest for some peace and quiet during this wonderful sunset I deced to have walk off the paved roads that just seem to develope more and more.
This is a simple scene only 5 minutes walking from my house.
I've had quite a few sunset photo from around this place before, but I have never taken the time to actually sit down and enjoy what's below.
Hope you enjoy it.

Hi OJ. Wow! Dramatic sky. Well chosen POV and well considered composition. Nice handling of light also. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Hi Odd,
What!? How is this possible that your photo only has 2 points so far; this is amazing!
The sky is utterly dramatic and reminscent of an approaching storm or war. This motif goes very well with the grasses and sedges in the front, it kind of looks like they are standing up tall to see what is on the horizon, or maybethe tallest spikes are spears. The fact that much of the photo is a bit blurry also adds to a sense of uncertainty about what is really there or what may yet come.
However... then I read your note and you say that the sunset reminds you of peace and quiet. I apparently have the exact opposite reaction. :( But maybe that's okay, maybe the same photo can have different meaning for different people.
Cheers,
Jordan
