Late afternoon sunlight

Backlit

I took some photos of the late summer, late afternoon sun in green Vermont. As summer begins to fade, the sun is getting lower in the sky. In the evening, it backlights the trees and cast shadows.

Sunbeams and shadows

Sun struggles to get through the leaves casting shadows on much of the yard.

Darkness falls

As the sun goes behind the trees looking west, the forest goes dark.

Evening sun

But on the eastern side, the evening sun is the brightest of the day.

Garden

My garden gets direct light this time of the evening.

Pines over garden

The pines above bask in the light.

The shadows spread

But the shadows are marching across the yard.

Little oak

This little oak casts a perfect shadow.

Dappled sunlight

The dappled sunlight advances toward the eastern tree line.

Front yard

The yard is nearly all covered in shadows.

Sort:  

That's cool how you tracked the shadows. Your yard is really lovely and green right now!

Thanks. My yard goes crazy in the late summer and fall when the sun is less intense. We have been getting a little rain consistently too.

Nice blue sky's.

It's raining here currently.

We are overcast here today. No real rain I don't think but no sun either 🙁
