CLOUDS ABOVE THE PRAIRIEAfter photographing the colorful sunrise at the lake with dramatic clouds, it looked like it was now going to downpour and I headed back to the trailhead. I crossed over the South Fork Kishwaukee River and noticed the sunlight lighting up the clouds and the prairie landscape with a remarkable and beautiful light. I set up the tripod, camera, composed the prairie landscape with the clouds being illuminated and began photographing. (499 171)
