Evening Sun

Old Gate at Sunset, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

I love photographing in the late afternoon and early evening. In addition to the dramatic shadows caused by the sun being low in the sky, the color of the lighting provided by the sun becomes noticeably softer.

In this capture, I stopped to take a couple of photos of an abandoned house when I saw this old gate. I really like the detail in the wood and how the sun accents it. To view this in a larger size, click here.
