    Beautiful. What is the photoshop technique you are using to give the photos a vintage and almost painting like feel?

    The second photo looks like a painting. Beautiful.
    P.S. Thank you for your birthday wishes. Yes, it seems that my birthday present camera is a newer generation of Canon Rebel. I have a lot to learn, but I am looking forward to it. Have a nice day!

    I was thinking the same: your second pic looks like a Turner's painting, or any of the XIXth century painters!How beautyful!

    You seem to have so many beautiful sky days where you are, maybe because your weather changes more than ours does.

    I like the sunset shot with the silo and the glow of the failing sunlight on the clouds in another direction. Just as pretty… both are very attractive images.

    These are beautiful pictures of the setting sun and sky. I like the gold on the horizon in your first picture -- and the silo standing guard. The clouds in your second photo are gorgeous.

    Fabulous clouds in both photos, but I especially like the pink ones to the north. We get often all-around-the-sky sunsets out here on the prairie, too. Awesome, aren't they?

    Both your sunset captures are delicious; yet I agree with you, often the sky away from the sun is the more spectacular. As Kay says, those all-around-the-sky sunsets are awesome.
