Sunset Hues Three Directions

The first bonfire photo faces south with the setting sun to the northwest.  The second faces west.  Growing up on the farm, you learn very early what your directions are according to the compass.  It always baffles me when people don’t know north from south, east from west.  The sunset photo shows amber waves of winter wheat in the foreground. The long row of elm trees (called a shelterbelt) were planted by my sister and me about 40 years ago with my dad’s help, of course.  My Dad continues to cut down many old trees in our west treeline to make room for more acres of tillable soil for the farmers who rent his land.  If you look all three directions, you see what once was open prairie with NO trees except along the rivers.  Our farm is four miles north of the Red River of the North which eventually empties into the Hudson Bay in Canada.  BTW, Happy Birthday to G.W.
