Weekly Photo Challenge: Sunset

Posted by Little Things of Life on October 3, 2011

I could call this photo collection “Sun on the Run”!
Many of my photos are taken through the car window, while driving down the highway.
Our usual road trips are 8 to 12 hours long,
and if we stopped for every photo-op, we would never get to our destination the same day!

Such is the case with these photos.
We weren’t on a major highway, but we were in heavy traffic –
and there was not an opportunity to pull off the road to focus.

Anyway, the view was very interesting that evening.
It looked as if God were swiping a giant paintbrush back and forth across the sky.
We watched Him paint as we drove along!
The first three photos were taken along the edge of the
Ross Barnett Reservoir near Jackson, MS.
The others were taken after we got around the “Rez” and back into local traffic.

These pics aren’t as professional as those of some of my fellow bloggers,
but I hope you’ll enjoy!

FYI –
You can speed up the slide show by hovering your mouse over the first photo
and clicking through with the arrows.

Thank y’all for stopping by to visit Little Things.

May your life be filled with little blessings, little chuckles,
and little deeds of kindness (both given and received)!

…and remember to look up every morning and every evening
for a new and unique view of the heavens.
We’ll never see two ‘rises’ or ‘sets’ exactly the same!
