Uploaded by: docshovel39 — Thursday August 25, 2011 — Ropesville, TX (Current Weather Conditions)

This was the calm AFTER the storm . A few storms danced around our area last Thursday evening . Nothing significant , but again , better than nothing at all ! This sunset followed a patch of storms to the West . I had to get a shot by my favorite old windmill .

About docshovel39
docshovel39 Hello , my name is Tim . I live in the small farming community of Ropesville , Texas with my wife and photo partner Sherry . I got involved with photography because of my older brother Steve - a fantastic photographer who lives outside of Seattle , WA . My favorite work , apart from his , is a terrific book entitled " Ghosts in the Wilderness " by Tony and Eva Worobiec . It captures the remains of small , abandoned rural communities across the Midwest , much of it shot in black and white . I also have become a fan of photographer Jim McGuire . His black and white shots ( nashvilleportraits.com) are amazing . Thank you for your comments and have a GREAT day !
