Sunset, Friday, 30 April 2010

William Theodore Van Doren. Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 16 x 20.

New here today, an index to these posts by category, and an index by tags.

All of April’s sunsets have landed in a calendar array, here.

Half an hour before sunset, the flood of gold light hitting the wall of young poplars at the far side of the power lines, then washing over all the bright green dots of new growth in the landlord’s 20 acres of clear-cut devastation beyond, would almost make you believe that people cut a swath for the power lines and knock down the woods just to make things even more incredibly beautiful.
