I have been trying to get a shot of the with the sun perfectly shining behind to illuminate the stained glass at the top of the building…I think tonight was the night!!!

    Kasey, oh Kasey, :), what have you produced here. Gosh…. its really lovely. You most definitely have been conspiring with the Gods haven’t you? :), To get the clouds and the sky to be formed in that perfect harmony for the shot, you had to have a direct link to the above up there, for certain you have been conspiring with the Lot up there :).

    Patience is a vertue that has paid dividends here Kasey. How many times had you passed this wondering when the sun will be in the right place? It’s like a scene from National Treasure or the Da Vinci Code
    Cool shot

  • Kasey Cline replied

    Thank you so much and for stopping by!!!
    I have shot this about a hundred times. Waiting for the perfect moment! I am teaching my nephews to drive and we start at the cemetary is safe there. I was there a few days ago at this time and noticed it. Took a few shots but there was a van parked in front. Did not work…Got really lucky for sure!

    How exciting is to wait for the sun to move around .. or the earth it is the same thing, just to capt the light we wish…it is beautiful, and so moving. I also love this sort of pics, emerging the sunlight against the buuildings…and the clouds traced with violence against the sky. Perfect !!!! I could not see it for I had not added you to my watchlist Now I have… so I am sure that your new works will appear in my stream.
    Thanks a lof dear Kasey
