Barn in the Evening

Barn in the Evening, a photo by susanvg on Flickr.

The golden hour, when the sun lies low on the horizon and casts its warm glow on everything is the perfect time for photography. I was lucky to be out walking and catch the magic. What may seem mundane becomes beautiful




You can look up the golden hour here.

(Taken October 18) There is something magical about evening light. Photographers call the early morning and early evening light the golden hour. There is even a site where you can go to calculate when it is in your area. I was working and glanced up to see the tree across the street from me on fire. The intensity of colour in the autumn leaves was enhanced by the golden setting sun. I grabbed a camera and went out to try to capture it. I was not really satisfied with my photographs. I couldn't quite get the angle I wanted to display the incredible colour. So this will have to suffice - a glimpse at the setting sun.
