The minutes before the sun slips away for another day are some of the most magical and turn everyday into mesmerizing.

Here a favorite barn of mine in the Palouse sits beside a freshly planted wheat field, tucked safely behind several trees.
I love how the last light hits the barn for a perfect red reflection.
I usually make a point to get out very early before first light and stay out late after twilight.

What about you,
do you seek to shoot during L’heure Bleue?

Beautiful landscape. I can imagine the peaceful sounds and the calm winds. It takes a magical photo to transport you there!
gorgeous and getting out there at the right hour makes it worth it although i never think to do so lol….i’m sorry you were ill! hope you are feeling much better now!!
Just a tad…
Great effect of the setting sun’s light on the red paint of the barn. So calming at sunset.
Perfect timing, Madge. Very “atmospheric” shot with the twilight working its magic. I know that early mornings and evenings are the best times to get great photos but other things call me at that time. This week I’m going searching for sunsets though.
BTW, are you feeling better? The same thing happened to me in January–long time recovering.
It’s been three weeks already…
that’s wonderful, madge. i do manage some shots in the golden hour. :)
Great shot Masge – that is indeed a magical time of day for a photographer.
Madge, I can’t decide which you do best, nighttime shots or these gorgeous Oregon landscapes!
And BTW, hope you’re finally getting over that dreaded whooping cough. I haven’t heard of a case of that in a long time. Did you pick it up perhaps from one of those kids on the bus?
There’s a bit of an outbreak here in western WA… I’ve been immunized, but they say 80% of people getting it have been, go figure??
I love that time between full sun and sunset .. if you catch it right, as you did, its glorious
My favourite part of the day. Wonderful shot and very fitting title.
Wonderful shot Madge!
;-)
Beautiful
That is lovely. I have been out early and late at times.should get out more often.
I’ve been noticing some of my shots are washed out because I’m shooting at absolutely the wrong time of day… but, what can you do? Some photos just have to be taken whenever you can get them!
Lovely barn photo, Madge… hope you are sharing with Barn Charm this week! :)
I can see why this a favorite place of yours. Very nice postcard perfect photo.
A perfect place to be alone with your thoughts.
Madge, this is stunning, mesmerizing as you have said, awesome, I could go on and on. Thanks!
Beautiful shot! I love this time of day too – but you have mastered it!
Beautiful shot Madge!
Very soothing at the end of the day.
Lovely shot! We’ve got about four hours of twilight time now between midnight and 4:00 a.m., but I don’t normally get out with my camera then. Glad to hear you’re feeling better. My son teaches in Anacortes and said they had a case of whooping cough at the HS there and that it was going around. Too bad that a disease they thought they had licked is making a comeback.
That is a stunning shot! What a great way to describe it…I was out shooting the water scenes at that hour yesterday!
Gorgeous shot! Yep I love getting out there with my camera during “The magic hour” perfect lighting!
It sure is my favorite time of day… I love & revel in the mood of that time of day! Love. It.! Beautiful barn
Thanks so much for joining =)
Madge, you do catch the most gorgeous light. This is another stunning shot.
Sorry to hear you’re not back to 100% yet. It’s tough to be laid low and even more so when it persists.
Nice landscape, great shot Madge!
That’s a gorgeous scene! A wonderful entry for Barn Charm!
