Last weekend I made a quick trip up to South Dakota from Oklahoma to attend a family reunion. I had a good time on the drive. I stopped and found some geocaches and took a few pictures and took my time getting up there. Driving along I29 in South Dakota south of Sioux Falls I spotted the crescent moon over the wheat fields and pulled off the next rest stop to take a photograph.
When I saw the powerlines and was a little disappointed but I’m big into the concept that if you don’t get what you want then you work with you got so I got an electrical transmission tower along with my sliver of a moon and my planet venus. Which since I’m a generous guy I’ve decided to share the moon, Venus, and even the tower with you.
really enjoy the toe nail moon. nice shot!!
i just noticed the giraffes below. too funny!!
enjoy your week. ( :
Heck, the tower adds a little touch to the foreground.
Love the sliver of a moon shot and the lone star!
Such a lovely, peaceful capture! What a wonderful evening!!
And we thank you for your generosity! Beautiful big sky country.
great shot
I love that you got venus too!
That tower makes it an interesting shot!
That is a pretty good drive up and back in a weekend, and you still made time for geocaches and photos. You make good use of your time. Your sunset is a very nice balance of light and dark.
Nice composition,that tower adds another subject to the shot.
Oh yea, nice shot.
The perfect combination of nature and man-made!
Pretty capture of the moon. A beautiful skywatch shot. Have a happy weekend!
a perfect new moon!
Great shot of this nice line-up.
Thanks for sharing with us, Yogi!
I like the electrical tower, it makes the photo more real. I thought the evening skies in SD were very dramatic and you’ve done a great job of capturing it.
