I’m not quite certain whether this scene is in Colorado or Wyoming; all I know is, as my husband and I were driving from Boulder to Jackson Hole, this was somewhere well after we exited Rocky Mountain National Park. It was a small farming community and the light of summer day was quickly giving way to sunset. With rain falling in the distance, my husband stopped the car so I could get out and capture this beautiful scene.
Thanks to Ed of Sunday Stills Photography for his “agriculture” challenge this week. As Ed says: This week’s challenge is all about farmers and ranchers. Let’s face it – without them we would starve, so here is a big THANK YOU to the farmers and ranchers of the world!

I was sad to have to get back in the car and drive away. I could have stayed there until the sun set. But, being on the side of a narrow road – well, I understood my husband’s reluctance 😉 Thanks, SC!

What a great scene. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen purple rain and that was an occasion I did not have my camera with me (Long and boring story). But this is wonderful, Thanks for the reminder.
