Gloaming: After sunset and before dark
If you click on the photo to enlarge it a bit, you can perhaps just make out a lit-up church steeple in the lower left. If I were a better photographer, I might have been able to make it a more obvious part of the photo. By the way, I am signed up for Digital Photography classes, which will be starting soon. Hooray!
The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls. ~John Muir
How wonderful! I really like this shot..looks so peacefull.
ReplyDeleteWish you a great day!
The Muir shot is perfect for the photo. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite time in the evening. You captured it beautifully!

ReplyDeleteFantastic shot, Clariz! So very peaceful and beautiful. I can see the steeple. Love Muir's words and they are indeed perfect for the photo! I do envy you the classes you're going to be taking. Wish I could find some here that I could afford!! Hope you have a beautiful weekend!

Clair I love the picture. That's great you are going to take a class I would love to do something like that. I can't wait to see more amazing pictures. We miss you and love you!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for visiting. Sylvia and Aimee, I found my class at the Las Cruces Museum of Art. Cost: $65. I've been looking forward to doing this for a long time.
ReplyDeleteAimee, hug those kids for me!
I like your photos now so I can just imagine what you will show us after you become an expert !!!
ReplyDeleteI have never been in New Mexico, but the sky is fantastic.

Hallo from Germany

Lovely shot, and colours. Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful capture and you've left a bit of mystery with that steeple...which I was able to see quite well. And thanks for the Muir quote--my hero.
ReplyDeleteHappy SW Friday!
this is a breath-taking shot!
ReplyDeleteAmazing capture. Love the composition. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteFantastic moon shot. A great way to begin an evening.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, it sets a relaxing mood.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, very pretty colours and silhouette. I am also starting a photography course next week, have fun with yours.
ReplyDeleteahhhhhhhhhhhh, enjoy your class, Clairzie!
ReplyDeleteI like having the moon as the focal point instead. It draws your eye to the sky where it should be. Last night we went to a USC women's basketball game in Eugene OR. The temp walking home was 49 degrees. Is this really February? - Margy
ReplyDeleteVery nice; so evocative!
ReplyDeleteI love the soft glow of pinky-orange...like a ribbon. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - especially with the detail enlarged. The shading of the sunset colours up into night is absolutely lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove the John Muir quote.
Oooh, digital photography classes! I have a one-to-one session lined up, but it will be a while yet. Will be interested to hear - and see - how you get on.
Terrific! What a beautiful greeting card or a postcard it can make... Awesome shot of Nature's design!
