Random scenery

Even though my camera isn't a big heavy thing, the two extra lenses that I have add weight to the camera/handbag.  The weight doesn't seem to deter me from  carrying my camera with me at all times and I'm getting pretty handy at pulling over while driving and snapping a picture out the driver's window.


The sunset pictures were taken yesterday afternoon around 4:30. Driving home from the supermarket I turned into a farmer's driveway and took this picture.


The sun was so large and orange in the sky!


 And a few days ago the clouds were shining in the sky so I tried photographing them too.


This is the scenery from just behind my house on the road between the rice fields.  I love the way the mist rises from the fields after a rainy day.


On another rainy day I admired a high tension tower at the entrance to a mountain tunnel.  I'm not a fan of these high tension wires that crisscross the landscape but this one looked like a lone sentinel standing guard over the forest and valley.  Sort of lovely in a man made way.

You are really getting great pictures on that camera. I know my new camera is capable of much more than I have been able to manage. Did you learn how to take these pictures from an expert or just by trial and error?

Your post today reminds me that we should all stop and see some of the beauty that surrounds us. Too often, I just barrel through the day without looking at what's around me. Thanks for sharing.
