Stillness brings clarity to everything.
[Sony A700 | CZ 16-80 | 16mm | f8 | 1/8 sec | ISO 400 | 3 images, tonemapped]
The wind is such a constant companion in Southwest Oklahoma, you can only imagine my surprise when there was hardly a stir at mid-afternoon on a day in December. It had been months since I had ventured forth with camera in hand; I just hadn’t been up to it. However, this day was different and the difference was causing a stir of excitement at the prospect of such a stillness. On the drive from Lawton to the Refuge, the skies held promise of a sunset worth viewing and perhaps worth photographing. Hunting for an image is much like hunting in general, I suppose. By that I mean, even though there are a great number of photogenic scenes in Southwest Oklahoma, there are only prospects and uncertainties whenever I venture out in search. Sometimes I find something; sometimes I don’t.
This image is breath taking!
You are obviously a talented photographer.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Vikki! Thanks so much for enjoying the image! It was a very nice moment in the Refuge I wanted to share.

That was beautiful…..when you are out looking, watch for the old windmill and the new air mill just north of Lawton on the old road to Medicline Park. A photographer from Walters had a really neat photo at the art show of this scene.
