Perhaps it’s my twinge of OCD. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
I find myself drawn to the sky, clouds, sunrises and more often (being a night owl), sunsets. I marvel at the beauty found when looking up. The light changes the scene by the second.
A constant chaos of beauty.
This sunset is from February 7. I had worked late on a vexing problem, and needed something to refresh my soul. I saw that the sunset would be worthy of my attention and headed to a favorite spot west of town.
There’s a flat spot, prepared for building with roads and drainage ditches installed, that makes for a perfect sunset location.
I put three frames together that I noticed I had bracketed exposures, at the time preparing to do a high dynamic range or HDR photo composition in post processing.
It’s been gray around here of late, much rain and overcast skies. This was a gift for my eyes.
A bit of the wonder of nature on display for me.


I am constantly looking at the sky and taking pictures. Of course, none are like this. I can see what you were trying to capture that night in August by our lake! Come back please!
The way you make the sun become the focal point of the sweeping sunset sky is ever enchanting. Another great shot of nature at her best.
Looks like God had a great day that day, smiling as it came to a beautiful end. Amazing capture, Matt!
