We had been hiking all afternoon under mostly grey skies and didn't have much hope for a colorful sunset. As the sky darkend and a few raindrops fell, we started angling our way back in the general direction of the car.

| Split rock. |
 |
| Heart rock. |
 |
| This one reminded me of sliced bread, with mustard on the side. I must be hungry! |
 |
| How can a seemingly dead plant produce these beautiful flowers?? |
 |
| Even long after Nolina blooms have lost all their flowers, they are still photogenic! |
We finally had a few moments of golden hour sunlight break through the clouds. Mitch and I were focused on these rocks when Nadine said "Look behind you!"
 |
| Golden light was streaming under the cloud cover. For the next 15 minutes, we were spellbound! |
 |
| Nadine hard at work getting the best possible camera angle! |
 |
| As the sun set, the light shifted from yellow to pink. |
A glorious way to end a hike!
Thanks for stopping by!!
All of your photos today are so beautifully composed and framed. Your first paragraph said nothing much happened but then ever photo brought amazing life.
ReplyDeleteYou just never know if the sunset will be a good one. Glad you stuck around!
ReplyDelete...too many times I have baled out on a sunset only to miss the afterglow. The pops os yellow are a welcomed addition to the roughed scenery.
