Par 4

Last night my daughter and I went for a walk around the block. Now out here in the middle of nowhere that means a nice little 4 mile walk. I attached my 35mm f/1.8 lens on the camera and we headed out. We had a great time and I got a chance to explore with the camera. It is something we are going to do more often. As we passed the golf course on the home stretch I couldn’t pass up the sunset…

Approaching

I’m always a sucker for sun light on the trees against a dark sky. Even when it is in the Walmart parking lot. lol

Weekly Photo Theme – Power Lines

This week I borrowed one of the daily photo themes over on Google+ for our weekly theme. It is a theme I have contributed to in the past and it is a little different as far as subjects go. It is power lines, which can include telephone poles, but typically a subject we landscape photographers try to exclude from our images. Contributing to the theme on G+ has forced me to see those general intrusions as something different. There can be a beauty to these landscape eye sores when looked at as the subject of a composition. You should search Google+ for #PowerLineFriday to see what I am talking about.
