Solitary windmill stands post over the recently harvested grain field at dawn. Bright highlights and long dark shadows show the rolling Colorado prairies bring out the terrain relief under the fluffy layers of monsoon cumulus clouds exacerbated by the massive smoke and ash from forest fires across the Western States.

Ubiquitous high power electric lines span many miles across the eastern Colorado prairies to bring electricity to the burgeoning populations and isolated farmsteads. Low angle post dawn sunlight creates dimensionality with long highlighted ridge lines and deep shadows.

Found an area of Colorado high prairie with rolling hills and infinite grain fields and used the post dawn light and shadows across the scene to develop the depth of the terrain.

I decided to drop in on Mount Rainier this weekend, hoping to catch some light. I have been here many times, and the moutain as always eluded me.

Dancing on the astral plane
On holy water cleansing rain
Floating through the stratosphere
Blind, but yet you see so clear

Cái se bebe el sol

Y que remienda tu corazón
Con la sonrisa más morena

Sometimes we are granted a view that very few will believe.

The Cracker Plant
A local chemical works, produces ethylene and propylene and regularly has a flaring off process lighting up the local area

Bones sinking like stones
All that we fought for
Homes, places we've grown
All of us are done for

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

There has been some stunning misty mornings of late

I realise that I haven't posted for a couple days for my 365 Day project. I have shot images but I felt that they were subpar. This is my Day 4 submission.

I just couldn't resist the fog this morning, although by time I got out I had missed the best of it
