Since returning to St. Louis, it has been hard to generate much enthusiasm for photography. I'd seen so much that the return to the old familiar places seemed truly anticlimactic. Still, as it is an amazingly cool (81 F) evening, I thought I'd drive out the land between the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers in St. Charles County and watch the sun go down.
I found a spot next to a railway line and took this shot. I like it. Not only did I capture the gleam of the steel rails but two Red-winged Blackbirds flew into my frame, one with its wings lit up by the orange light.
I may not be in mountain country anymore, but I can still find beauty.

The light in the first photo is beautiful.Wonderful photos, Richard.:up::smile:
Nice photos, and that first one is gorgeous. Imagine catching that light on the rails like that.

Thank you very much, Carol & Star! They were fun to take. 🙂
:up:
Thank you, too, Linda! 🙂
You are welcome Richard. 🙂
Love the brilliant light in the first one. The rails almost look like they're electrified.
I love both sunsets and railroads, so you really did it for me with these. THe red wing blackbirds are a nice touch, and the light through the corn is lovely, too. 🙂
Thank you, Pam and Matt. I love that light through the corn as well. The small white speck in the sky to the far left is the moon! 🙂
