Harrisburg Farm at Sunrise
Before the Harrisburg Exit on the Pennsylvania Turnpike,
I have always noticed this farm as viewed out the driver
window looking left. It is unique because of its hilltop
setting, dramatic sunsets and sunrises,and of course the
fabulous corn the land produces. This was a beautiful
sunrise scene and I was excited to capture with the fresh
snow as a bonus. Located about a mile before the service
center on the left as you drive towards Harrisburg Exit 247.
Surreal Sunset
I am always looking at the sky for sunsets, but I have
never seen a sunset so dramatic and surreal as this one
for years. You can't tell during the day if something
like this is going to happen and I almost missed this
event. This was so dramatic that people driving home
from work were lined up on the side "taking it in". If
you look closely, you can see silhouettes of the
farms on top of the hill.
Red Harrisburg Farm
If you have traveled the Pennsylvania Turnpike West
towards Harrisburg from Philadelphia, you have seen this
farm, although you might not know it. It is about two
miles past the last rest stop before Harrisburg East. It
is difficult to see going towards Harrisburg (it is on
the right), but very visible traveling towards
Philadelphia (it is on the left). I had the opportunity
to photograph it at sunrise and I made it happen with
the snow, which was an added bonus.
Zion Sky Drama
Late November: Sometimes the same location photographed
different ways provides different results. This time,
the same farm scene that I love at sunset appears to be
very small and the sky so big. The sky adds spaciousness
to the scene, while the viewer still is aware of the
farm, the grass and some color left in the trees.
The Gloaming
This is a new word for me, but I love it. I have heard
it before, but now I am putting emphasis on it for some
of my images. The Gloaming (I learned this from one of
my Facebook friends) is the period of day between sunset
and darkness. Sunset is mostly over and the sky is
getting darker, but there is still light. One
description says "time of day when a young man and woman
would 'sneak a kiss' unintruded"...
