Wasted day off… the sunrise disappeared behind clouds and the snow disappeared from the trees by the gusty winds. I couldn’t have been less inspired to do anything but I finally forced myself out to scout for a certain location. Having done that, I just hoped that the sunset would be interesting because the sky was partly clear. So I went out about an hour before sunset, only to find out that it had started snowing while the sun still shone through a gap in the clouds. It was surreal… I had hardly any time at all to find a spot, so I settled with any composition. At first the sun was still too bright and I tried bracketing for HDR but after a minute or so the sun had faded enough to get it all in one frame. Creating a HDR with these big snowflakes flying around the frames would probably have been impossible anyway (I didn’t even try, just ditched everything but this last frame which worked on its own). It wasn’t really even a sunset… it was just an orange globe quickly fading behind the clouds.

A completely forgettable day, but a few glorious minutes to remember.
