Sometimes you just need to turn around and see the other way.
Got sunset? Turn around.
Got stained glass? Where does the light go?Assiniboine River, Winnipeg
Typical sunset shot.

Same time, same place – Winnipeg
Yeah. this loads on the tool upside down, but I hope it can be fixed.
Two photos, less than a minute apart.
A Church in southern Poland
A satin table cover. Stained glass. Light. Always look at where the light goes.
This is not a greatly interesting photograph. But it is just as my phone recorded it. No photoshop to get light effects like these.
Outside Arviat
Mid afternoon sunset. One way is sun and snow with sillouettes.
Arviat, Nunavut
Step back and look the other way. Totally different photo. To me it does not look nearly as cold.
Thank you so much FerdfromtheNort, do send us more when you can.
Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.

Beautiful shots, and what great reminders — Follow the light. Turn around.

@OzarkHillbilly: Exactly.
Great advice to both look where the light goes and turn around.
