Summer Silence

Watching the sunset

ten thousand stalks of barley

stand in rapt stillness

 

{ A haiku by Andy }

 

Technical note: Taken during a sunset where the sun turned fiery red due to ongoing wildfires in the area. The dense black smoke that filled the sky works very much like a giant neutral density filter. I was literally chasing "the red sun," first from my car trying to scout a location, then second on foot, in a nearby meadow before it sank behind the distant mountains.
