Sunrise/ Sky Watch

Sunrise over Uxbridge farm
It was another one of those early mornings when we wondered if ther'd be a great sunrise or not. We gambled and won.

    Oh, how I wish our local fields had this much hay on them! After the devastation of the drought and production down over 70 percent, now a lot of hay is in danger of being destroyed by these raging fires!

    Perfect composition with the sun behind that tall structure. Is that a silo? I'm bad at names of farm architecture.

    This is another one of those shots that could have been taken here in Rockbridge County. The hay bales look so familiar, but all of our are gone from the fields and are in barns or covered in plastic wrappings for the winter use. Beautiful capture...there is nothing like a farm at this time of the day. genie
