Soft Evening Light – Pretty Photo

I love sunsets but because backgrounds are fairly dark they really don’t show that well in photos. I always say – you have to be there to really appreciate sunsets.

But, some soft evening light can really make a difference in an OK photo and a super-pretty one.

I was lucky the other evening and took several photos capturing the cliffs along the Upper Missouri River when I had been to Virgelle to ride the ferry.

Now, my problem. I can’t decide if that is the Bear Paw Mountains or the Highwood Mountains in the background. I took the photo as I was leaving and I’m just not sure.

Whichever island range it is, the new little shoots of winter wheat and that pretty sandstone cliff combine for some great contrast in this photo.

Makes me want to go back there!
