The lines on the road lead to the setting sun in Newtown.

Hi James, You always capture the most amazing reflections (below) their wonderful.
This evening shot is so peaceful, I can almost hear the stillness of the night...you know the silence when your standing alone in the cold and the light is beginning to fade...
Its gorgeous, James.

Nice, James. The warm sunset colors soften the cold of the snow.

A peaceful picture and a fine balancing between dark and light. I like the casual contrail pointing toward the sun...

Straight into the sunset - I liked that.

PS I have sometimes managed to get some fine reflection of a rising sun from lines like that. Maybe you can get some from these at sunset?

Lois said...

You caught that one at the perfect time James!

Hilda said...

A very peaceful ending to such a frenetic season.

I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas, James. Wishing you a joyful, peaceful and love-filled new year.

Riding off into the sunset, great shot! The jet caught my eye too.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas in your new hometown James. It appears as though you are adapting to snow rather well. I loved all of your reflection photos below. You have a very creative eye. And I never met a Sunset that I didn't like. It reminds me, with gratitude, that I made it through another day. Peace James.
