Prairie Sunsets

Only wind and the squeaking of windmill blades broke the silence as my sister Sue and I captured this scene.

Views on the wide-open prairie are like those from the Sears Tower, only from the ground. I shot this sunset while on the way to my nephew's home in Ogden.

This one was taken on another evening just after the sun set.

Living in a city known for its tree canopy, we see only portions of sunsets. I took advantage of the open vantage points on our recent trip home to Illinois to capture these images.
