"Two golden hours somewhere between sunrise and sunset. Both are set with 60 diamond minutes. No reward is offered. They are gone forever." ~ Horace Mann
Taken this past weekend during an evening stroll with the family. I saw the setting sun shining through the grasses in a field and knew I had to try and capture this moment. While it can't compare to being there, I don't think I did too badly. By the way, I used a technique I mentioned in the Photography Forum yesterday to help bring out shadow detail. If you are interested, go take a look. ----- Thank you for your webby comments on my last upload, Home, Home On The Vine.

Looks like someone will be replacing the hydro pole after all that fire burnt it in half ;oP Looks like someone spun that straw into gold.

Excellent warm colours. The illumination on the translucent grass blooms on the front makes it for me.
