Leaving our family farm to return home Sunday evening I could see from the secluded valley that a beautiful red glow was sweeping upward across the sky as the last remnants of daylight faded about one half hour past sunset.
Driving to the top of the hill I shot these images through the corn using the 400mm lens to isolate a small bit of the sky. Exposing for the sky allowed the corn stalks in the foreground to become stark silhouettes.
Evening skies such as these typically forecast fair weather and we have been blessed with beautiful clear days and low humidity ever since.For Beautiful Skies from around the World

Salty: What a beautiful evening sky in the cornfield. I haven't seen one of those times for a while.
Coy, these are exceptional! I love sunset shots, but especially favor the first one you posted. It's a real winner.
Hi Coy,

Looks like you could turn it into an exotic fabric print- what a beautiful capture of color and the silhouette-
Stunning, prize winning photos to my way of thinking. Great job Salty.
