The ​Day ​Is ​Gone

The Day Is Gone

Put all the hurts and worries away

The sun has set

The evening is nigh

The mountains are calling

Showing off a majestic glow

So take in the view

Savor a day lived

And look forward to tomorrow}

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one late afternoon in Colorado at bed and breakfast location stayed overnight in the Pagosa Springs. The view is looking to the northeast to ridges and peaks of the East-Central San Juan Mountains. This was at a bed-and-breakfast place I stayed overnight after exploring more of southeastern Colorado in Durango and Silverton. So after many hours of driving this day, it felt wonderful to take in a mountain view for the evening.

 

As for the skies above, it was as I began working on the image in post-production that I then decided to once again try out the sky replacement setting in Photoshop with this image. The sunset colors with the clouds definitely seemed appropriate for this Colorado mountain setting in what I had loved seeing. So the skies are part of the Adobe stock images in Photoshop but all else is captured with my Nikon D850 SLR camera. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 7 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
