Since we’ve actually had something besides bright blue clear skies, it’s made for some interesting pictures.
I love the idea that we’ve reached the silver lining and this drought is finally retreating. Dare I hope…

love this shot! really like the fence in its spider-webbing effect.
Aug 09, 2012 @ 17:01:37
It’s one of my favorite places for sunset shots.
Aug 09, 2012 @ 17:36:33
This is a gorgeous viewpoint! I love that fence also – very interesting!
Aug 09, 2012 @ 17:39:45
Thanks. I really do love where I live for its beauty.

nice photo !!! I hope your drought ends soon! I know how hard those are on things sigghh…
Aug 09, 2012 @ 17:47:35
The evening news shot down my optimism. With the new drought report out we went from 30% to 60% of the state in extreme drought, and the remainder is in severe drought. I guess I can still hope.
Aug 09, 2012 @ 17:49:22
Oh I do hope so Teresa. Love the photo, B
Aug 09, 2012 @ 17:51:13
Thanks. Even if it isn’t truly ending yet, I’m enjoying the cooler temperatures we’ve got right now.
Aug 09, 2012 @ 17:54:58
U really, REALLY hope you get sufficient rain to end the drought!

Beautiful! One for your calendar!
As far as the end of drought… one can always hope.

I am actually starting to go through and try and find the pictures for next year’s calendar. I’ll have to keep this one in mind.

It is a classic picture. Holds so many stories
Aug 09, 2012 @ 20:53:57
Thanks. If only those hills could talk, they would tell us all kinds of tales.
Aug 09, 2012 @ 21:32:34
Really amazing photo! The sky takes your breath away but you can see the ragged fence just at the edge of the shot.
Aug 09, 2012 @ 21:43:08
Thanks. That fence is just wonderful for sunsets.
Aug 09, 2012 @ 21:35:48

That’s an incredible sky. I like the old fence in the foreground. Great photo!

It really is pretty amazing when nature shows us those beautiful scenes.
Aug 09, 2012 @ 22:01:34
What a gorgeous capture! I do love the rays of light! Such dramatic skies!! Have a great weekend!
Aug 09, 2012 @ 22:10:54
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great weekend as well.
Aug 09, 2012 @ 22:14:23
I sure hope the drought is over!!
Those sunbeams are called crepuscular rays. Isn’t that a wonderful word?
I enlarged your photo, to get a better look at those fantastic clouds, and the fence is so cool!! I love it!!
Aug 09, 2012 @ 22:18:14
Well, that’s quite the word! Thank you. It’s an old fence~they always have character.
Aug 09, 2012 @ 23:10:08
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for your kind comments on my blog post.

Thanks. Not sure what you mean by a no reply e-mail.

Some serious beauty!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 07:45:22
I’m surrounded by beauty here all the time.

Beautiful capture of the rays!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 07:45:45
Thanks. I love when we have the clouds to let them filter through.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 15:19:15
What a dramatic sky! Hope is always good:)
Aug 10, 2012 @ 15:27:02
It seems like all we’ve had for most of the summer. Glad we’ve actually had some rain lately to keep the hope going.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 15:31:43
Wow- great capture Teresa!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 15:38:38
Thanks. It’s always nice to be in the right place at the right time.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 16:24:48
It does look like a silver lining!

We had rays streaking down this morning too but I was just too busy to grab the camera.
P.S. I like your watermark on this photo!
Aug 10, 2012 @ 16:39:54
I keep thinking I need to do the watermark on all of them, but it’s so much work. I know. I know… We had beautiful clouds with an approaching storm then next day, but I was busy trying to get ready for the storm and didn’t get to take many pictures. Guess I have to have my priorities.
Aug 10, 2012 @ 17:27:44
that is a very good shot. Love how the rays lights up that part of the sky.:)
Aug 10, 2012 @ 18:22:23
Thanks. It was very dramatic.
Aug 11, 2012 @ 02:32:51
You truly live in a gorgeous place. Love your sunset photos. This one is so dramatic with the darkness in the foreground. And yes, a break in the heat is so welcome. We’re having the first cool weekend in months in KY–80s.
Aug 11, 2012 @ 08:14:13
Glad to hear you are getting a break as well. I’m glad to hear you like the picture. I do agree I live in a very beautiful place.
