LAST EVENING VIEW FROM THE PRAIRIE

Last nights sunset 2/15/2020. The forecast was for overcast skies until 2pm, then partial sunny skies. Decided to listen to the forecast and head out to catch the sunset. Its been overcast just about every day since the first of the year so wanted to photograph a nice sunset for a change instead of the gloomy weather that we have had. I thought I would photograph Eakin Creek West with the box elders instead of heading to the lake. The temperature was 26F with 15-18 mph winds. I waited for about 20 minutes down by the creek before things started to get interesting with the sunset, clouds and color. The lighting was beginning to fade and a soft light then materialized in which I set up my camera along Eakin Creek West and began shooting. After snapping off a few images by the creek, I left that area and was looking for another subject to photograph against the soft fading light. I thought this peachleaf willow tree standing above the cattails with the fading soft light from behind, made for a good subject and proceeded to snap one shot before calling it a night. I collected my gear headed home. (632-899)
