Waiting

Every so often the stars align and life settles down a little where I can go capture a sunset. This happened on this particular evening. I was able to hop in the car and drive up to the southern portion of the Horicon Wildlife Refuge in Horicon, WI. When I got there it was somewhat underwhelming. So I hiked around and stopped at this location and started setting up my tripod & camera. The sunset at the time was a bit overcast, the clouds were diffused enough that it hid the shape of the sun. I started playing with a couple filters and capturing when my camera battery died. With the underwhelming sunset, I was thinking of packing up but decided just to be patient a bit longer. I am glad I did because once the sun went below the horizon this epic scene emerged.
