Sunflowers and Colorado Sunsets

*Sunflowers and Colorado Sunsets *

Revisiting the Sunflower fields I miss so much, a magical place on the eastern plains of Colorado like no where else, a place one day I hope returns. As the front rage of the Colorado Rocky Mountains dances with the setting sun, this scene seemed something out a paradise lost, the kind of thing you only ever read about. On this day when shooting the sunset here, I shot over 400 shots and came back quite a few other times as well. Well worth it I would say!

Hope ya all like it!

    Great shot John! The convergence on the right in the sunflower field counteracts the sun on the left. Nicely done.

    Excellent, John. There’s a place just south of Longmont on 287 that grows sunflowers on occasion. Hoping they do this summer. Will definitely make for a shorter drive :)

    Hey John, it’s right on 287 – west side – just south of Longmont. I haven’t seen the sunflowers grown for the past 2 summers though. Hoping they grow them this year.
