[Glad to be the first to comment...] There are some Caedesians who don't like darkness in their photographs, or in those of others, deigning not to comment on or even approve them. I find there is so much to interpret in the darker fields. The viewer is required to study the image longer, more in-depth, to get the full story the capture is telling. Many wouldn't even determine that this is a road that crosses some farmer's or rancher's pasture land, indicated by the gate over the road on the right side, or that a storm is approaching. They might even take issue with all the red, forgetting that on certain kinds of sunsets, this is exactly what it can look like. I think it's well done. [By the way, my father-in-law was there at the Bulge as well, but I was not lucky enough to meet him to hear about it first-hand. Please thank your father for his service.]

This is a lovely shot - The way the glow of the setting sun has lit up the whole area in that reddish light looks very nice. Excellent shot Dot.
94 and still going strong ! If you have your father's genes you should be prepared for a long long life too.

Have a good stay in San Diego, Dorothy. Please say 'Hello' from me to your father, and tell him about my respect and admiration.

Thanks for this very moody sunshine shot. Not a one of the category 'twelve in a dozen', but a very special one!

Dot, I totally understand what Nik wrote in his comment, for me I like the dark images, not everything is sun lit, and I think you have done a fantastic job on this one. That sky, the lead in, and the view beyond! Enjoy your visit with your dad, and I want to thank him for his service, and so glad he has been able to still get out and about. tigs=^..^=

Such a wonderful hue to the whole capture. Very beautiful scene.

Now that's a hike I'd love to do - hope you recover from the soreness but it's the good soreness
