Quite a nice sunset

Ex #138

 

Taken from the top of Burrow Hill, Somerset a few minutes after sundown on christmas eve.

 

The colours are as was...

 

I struggled a bit to find interesting compositions in this unfamiliar landscape, it was incredibly difficult to get clear vantage points within the trees, thick hedges and deep lanes (and mud).

 

This was far from a silent sunset, the air was filled with the noises of the countryside settling down for the night, dogs barking, doors closing, cows milking and so on... Comforting but I’m used to a quieter life up here in Scotland !

 

Much better Viewed Large On Black you can see the houses with smoking chimneys...
