Delaware Farm Country Sunset

The golden hour is called that because of the golden tones that are created by the sun as it passes through the atmosphere when it’s close to sunset and sunrise. The lighting is so pretty, that people like it and will pay for photos taken then over photos taken in the middle of the day (most times anyways).

Agriculture is an important industry in Delaware. I like seeing all the Amish farms and homes and folks going about their lives in defiance of modern conveniences.

Amish School house at dusk

I upgraded my Fuji to the x100T. I like it! More resolution on the rear LCD, buttons instead of a wheel on the back, faster focus and a new camera smell! I may sell my x100s, or just keep it as a backup to the T. It’s been a while since I was up in New Castle, so I thought I’d like to take a ride and see what I could see.

Here we go with the 3 again. I liked the rondels on the door and that’s why I did the photo.

Lots of stuff to love here: Symmetry, textures, things that look the same, but are different and so on.

I liked how things were arranged. I suppose I could take out the black material to intensify the arrangement, but I don't want to change it too much.
