Drive-by Sunsets

Outside, daylight was bleeding slowly toward dusk. ~ Stephen King

It was a lovely time of day. That hour just before the sun lowers itself behind fields and fences, silos and barns. The  only way to snap multiple silhouette images of the changing landscape was to sit in the passenger seat of the car, on our way home toward the south. This allowed me the perfect view to the west and the setting sun.

penninsula
Before the dusk began to greet the day, there were a few drive-by scenes which caught my eye, Among them, this lovely but cluttered peninsula with its colourful trees showing off what's left of their best autumn attire.

The sun was shining proudly on this little bay, saturating its colours with rich, warm hues.

sunset horse
Before too long, it ws difficult to make out disticnt details of the countryside, but my camera still picked out this grazing horse. You might need to squint.

sunset cattle
Well, if you could see that horse, how about this cattle? They're way over on the udder side of the field.

Bare trees look quite dramatic with the sun setting behind them.

Many of the barns look the same whe the night steals away with its hues and shades.

Quite a few of them are worn down enough to allow at least some sunlight to shine through them.

And some - quite a bit.

Before long (several dozens of photos), it became too dark to focus on the countryside. This was my last shot from a most amusing drive home. At least for the passenger.

More coming up soonish.

Drive By Shootings

A couple of weeks ago, we enjoyed a few day trips to nearby towns. I took some photos here and there which I'm sure I'll post at some point, but today I'd like to show you some snaps of scenes which caught my eye while we were on the road. All were taken through the passenger window of the car while on the move. I hope you enjoy my drive by shootings.



Though many trees were already bare, some still had brilliant colour like this golden beauty. It was late afternoon and the sun bathed the countryside in warm, autumn tones as it showed off some long, lazy shadows.



This might have been a pretty impressive barn at one time but it doesn't appear that it's been in use for a long time. I desaturated some of the colour from this photo - just for fun.



Here's one that's in better shape. Have you figured out by now that I quite like barns?



The gold-drenched fields kept persuading me to keep snapping photos. Every now and then a stark, leafless tree popped up along the landscape for contrast.



Just a couple bales of hay, hanging out together in a farmer's field.



I just loved the brilliant shades of orange and the red door on this shed. You can't beat late-day sunlight.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.
