sky: afire

Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way: I went to Maine. There was a spectacular sunset one night.

There was other stuff too, so stay tuned. But also know that that nothing else I post is going to be quite this dramatic.

roadside wings

The clouds seem to mirror the wings on the cross, like the spirit of the person has ascended skyward.

can’t sink me in sorrow

I’ve lived almost my whole life on the plains, within view of long horizons. Without them, I feel constrained.

Which I guess is why I took advantage of a piece of a horizon and stretched it out into a four-shot panorama. I felt better, too, when I was done and the photo was a little more horizon-y than the camera realized.

high plains minimalism

I guess if I’m being honest, the term “high plains minimalism” is sort of redundant. I mean…it’s the plains. It’s flat. There aren’t a bunch of trees. Etc.

But on the other hand, this view seemed extra minimalistic for some reason.

travel options

Thank you, Oklahoma, for showing us which direction the horizon goes. I mean, I’m used to seeing it, but I bet those New England photographers I was traveling with appreciated the assistance.
