The Sun, the Moon, the Cornfield and Me


Here are a couple of shots from my sunset walk yesterday. The sun was still too high in the sky to get a good direct shot so I pointed the camera in the opposite direction and captured my shadow, the rising moon and an old barn. Then I was able to capture the sun's glorious rays as they poured over the cornfield.
