Orange and Gold/ Sky Watch


Sunset, glorious sunset!

Lately, the only colour here has been in the sky...when we're lucky.

Someone (maybe a few of you) have asked me why some of my photos have cow corn standing in the snow. Not all farmers here harvest their cow corn in the fall. Some wait till spring. AND some even harvest it in winter!

    That is a lovely sunset. I think the corn adds texture to the shot!

    I was wondering about the corn. We saw the same thing in Michigan last Fall and had no idea why it was still there.

    Beautiful sky. Cow corn? I wonder if that is what we call field corn here.

    If you're only going to get color in the sky that's not a bad place for it to be. At least it can be seen and enjoyed by everyone. :-)

    Darla,
    Field corn and cow corn are the one and the same! I have a farmer friend who calls it cow corn, which he grows, so I've picked up the phrase from him.

    This reminds me of an Andrew Wyeth painting...

    What glorious sky colors. And you've composed it perfectly, with the rather large farm above the middle...

    It's a great scene!

    Same here EG. We did see some corn harvesting going on last week. They can get in the fields when the ground is frozen. The corn cobs will tip over facing down when ripe and will store throughout the winter
    I just love that orange sky.

    oh my gosh that is just an incredible sunset. I love the way the cornstalks look in the front --that's what gives the idea that I'm really standing there as you were when you took the picture. Tx for sharing
