Winter Sunset

(Edited)

I captured these shots somewhere in the middle of nowhere, not far from a village that seems long forgotten by both people and time. At first, the sunset looked utterly ordinary, not worth a second glance, until the contrast between sky and earth made me pull over and reach for my camera.

The first photo I will show was the last one I took. It captures the silhouette of a snow-covered village, lit by the last rays of the setting sun.

Just a few minutes earlier, I was shooting the sun as it sank behind a snowy field, and it seemed to release a soft blanket of clouds from within itself.

For a moment, it felt as if the sun, clinging to the bare branches of the trees, did not want to set. There was something deeply human in that.

Thank you for your attention!

Southern Ural, Russia.

Hi @alexanderfluke,

The image you built with your words of the sun clinging to the branches of the trees, resisting to set, I liked very much. And the photos are lovely!
