Rural landscapes: the windy sunset
DUSK SKY ON THE PRAIRIES, CALGARY, ALBERTA
The sunset was looking to be quite photogenic, so instead of going straight home from work, I detoured into the rolling prairies just north of where I live. This scene looked very good, but oh man, when I got out of the van, the wind was so crazy that it was all I could do to set up the tripod and make five or six exposures. Even with the tripod, some of the compositions were blurry. Fortunately, this one came out just fine.
Nikon D7100, tripod.

Your photo is so serene, Frank. I like knowing that it was super windy, yet still you could express the serenity.
It was a good reminder to make several exposures of the same scene. Just in case. 🙂
Wow, Frank, you really captured a beauty!
Red, white and blue, nicely done and a great catch!
