Sunshine and Clouds

Looking into the sky usually brings some interesting results, especially when there are some clouds in the sky.  Many people want a clear, cloudless sky, just like we want a life free from all troubles. Neither of these are always the best. The sky definitely becomes more interesting and more beautiful with the clouds and our lives often take on deeper meaning when we have some 'clouds' in them.

While sitting at Lake Minniwasta,waiting for the sunset, I was able to capture this scene.

The setting sun paints the sky and the lake a rich tone of orange.

As the sun continued to drop below the horizon, a few clouds moved in to add to the beauty.

Just for fun, I played with the above shot and turned it into a black and white image.

Give me your feedback on which you like better and maybe even ,why.

The color in the sky is rich and deep. Even though I have seen this so often, I am in awe each time.

I decided to add a brighter image as well. This is a scene I captured about a year ago.I would consider this a typical farm scene.The yellow of the canola fields, blue sky and the grain bins, waiting to be filled. I almost feel like a combine or truck should come rumbling down that road.

 

Something to consider:

We need both sunshine and rain for plants to grow and

 in our lives we need joys and sorrows to help us to grow.
