A winding country road stretches out before the viewer, bathed in the warm, golden hues of a breathtaking sunset. The road, lined with faded yellow lines, curves gently off into the distance, where rolling hills and clusters of trees are silhouetted against the radiant sky. A lone utility pole stands sentinel beside the road, its lines stretching across the scene. The surrounding fields are blanketed in a misty fog, adding to the serene and almost dreamlike atmosphere. The image captures a tranquil and picturesque rural landscape, frozen in the magical light of the setting sun.

When I first started taking pictures, everyone told me to avoid shooting into the sun; to always have the sun behind me. •• But the beautiful thing about continuing to shoot photos is realizing how and when rules should be broken. Like during this #Napa sunset. The entire valley turned to gold for a full hour before the sun finally slipped below the horizon. I can’t describe how magical it all looked, so I’ll let this photo do it for me. . . . . .
