Resplendent Solitude
A crisp and breezy hillside awaits the newly rising morning sun. Passing clouds are caught in the whispering winds high above the horizon and the light catches each layer of the silken veils, creating great ribbons of gold, yellow, orange and blue.
The silhouette of a guardian of risen souls bows in quiet prayer in a country church yard…
Not a single bit of afterwork was done on this piece. It is straight from the camera.

Carla Jandelle...
u and i must totally have been on the same plain! was taking pics of my son the same way yesterday before coming home. sunsets make the PERFECT profile!
LavenderMoon replied
I agree, Carla.. but the timing has to be so perfect.. it never stays this way for more than a few minutes… makes me all clumsy!

Dayonda
This is exquisite, as is the Angel pointing the way home. I’d be happy to show this one because the sky calls the attention away from the shilhouette because of its beautiful colors, while the deeply shadowed silhouette shows off the lovely sky. The silhouette reminds me of Christ, but could be any honored person in ancient Greek robes.
LavenderMoon replied
Thank you, Dayonda!
