the sky has a big personality
There was a lot of weather going on that day: it filled up the whole sky, which is saying a lot.

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.

the temptation of the edge
I’ll end 2024 with this, a photo that has deep personal meaning to me.
And the only other thing I’ll say is that sometimes all it takes to keep going is the thinnest line of light.

lenticular
When you’re in a group of photographers that drive like hell (on one-track roads)(that sometimes have sheep standing in them) to get to the beach just in time to photograph the sunset, it’s easy to tell the members of the group who know their job, focus on the task at hand, and photograph the sunset.
Then there was me: I can’t follow directions very well and/or am easily distracted by something shiny. And it this case, I saw the tiny bit a lenticular cloud (my second favorite cloud) over there on the eastern sky and it was sufficiently shiny to get my attention.

with flare
Sometimes you get lens flare no matter how hard you try to not. And every now and then, those crazy things seem like they’ve added to the photo – giving you an element you didn’t even know you were lacking.
In this case, I think I’ll just assume the flares are actually Scottish faeries.
