Sinking Into the Haze
As golden hour approached, the sky looked perfect with several clouds dancing gracefully in the western sky. I grabbed my camera and hurried to my car, I had a place in mind to shoot some rural sunset photos. However, when I got to the location an hour later, the clouds were gone and the sun was sinking into a thick haze on the horizon.
Disappointed but determined, I snapped a few photos in hopes of salvaging my trip. Although this scene is not what I had originally hoped for, nature's unpredictability and the smoky haze from the Canadian wildfires has simply altered the beauty that you now see in this sunset shot. Photographed in the summer of 2024 in rural Story County, Iowa.
