One of the advantages of being out in the field is the opportunity to take some photos of memorable scenes. Here are a few taken late in the field day on various projects recently. These aren't Moistner-grade, of course, but I enjoy having them.

Sunset over South Texas (12/07/2012)

Fayette County Sunset (a few weeks ago)

Fayette County Sunset (in October)

Great pictures, as usual. I can never get the "depth" of the scene right, I guess it's because I can't get either peripheral or three dimensions on the screen. Keep it up.

Texas sunrise

here is a pic(non-enhanced)that reminded me by your first 2 pics that was taken by a colleage while we were in Orange TX doing post-hurricane Rita survey work for the USACE/IPET.

Dear LORD,

Thank you that I live where there are contour lines on the map.

Amen-

Yeah, but in the mountains isn't sunset about 3PM or whenever the sun drops below the ridge? On the plains of South Texas there is some real sky, right down to the last glint of sun on the HORIZON.

Also a lot easier to tell time by the sun out there than where you have to try and estimate the horizon.

To me the most interesting thing about this photo is the reflection of the sky color in the rails.

That, and the fact that there are real wood ties under those rails. There's something distinctly unromantic about concrete railroad ties.

Sure, but which side of the tracks does the moss grow on?

Nice pics. I like the religious conotations in the second. I had always thought of Kent as more of a secular guy:)
