If like me, you grew up living on the high prairies, you have probably experienced the magical moments that occur the last 10 minutes before sunset. The air cools, the wind calms and a special silence puts a hush on the day's activities. For me as a teenager being alone somewhere out in the prairie was a time that I first began to connect with my Maker.
I have always wanted to capture one of those moments in a photo and this one I did at Ft. Robinson, NE comes the closest I have done to date of achieving that goal. I shoot this in the last few minutes before the sun sat on July 3, 2022. A herd of Longhorn steers peacefully graze in the distance along with a few Pronghorns. Horses also are grazing, resting from a days work. The sun's golden light illuminates the prairie grasses with a golden hue. A Meadow Lark sits on a fence post singing praises to the Lord.
