[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A winter Sunset taken off the deck of our home in Vermont.

Skies of pink, peach and gold,
the sun leaving its mark,
makes me take a breath,
the cold disappears,
I'm filled with warmth ,
and peace.

Happy Holidays my friends.

Donna,

Absolutely gorgeous! One year I would like to experience Christmas in New England! I can only imagine the snow...

I love the tree trunks forming the lines in the photo. Of course, the colors of the sky are very warming in this cold setting.

Happy Holidays to you too! Lisa

Lovely poster, Donna.
I like the subtle orange/sienna colour near the horizon :-)
Nice one. Best regards, Daniel

Hi Donna,

Hello Donna
Your title speaks of solitude but for me, it means cold. On this 20th of December, the shortest day of the year, it is time to go back to the warmth of home and enjoy a good warm meal. Nice capture of the end-of-day atmosphere with a dash of color in the sky; a promise of coming sunny morning.
Nicely done
Seasons Greetings !
Serge

Hi Donna,
This is a beautiful winter scene!
I like his composition where the trees give a good vertical graphism! And, what a splendid display of soft colors! Solitude can be Beauty, too! My compliments and my best wishes for this Holiday Time! Annie

Good morning Donna, what a pretty colours shining through the dark trees. You should enjoy seeing the different variety of sunsets you will have through Nature's curtains.
It must be exciting seeing all the new winter views with this being your first cold season in your new house.
Well captured and displayed
