Music, People & Open Sky

I tried to capture, with my inexpensive digital camera, the awesome sky of Saturday evening at Folk Fest. The moisture of a very hot afternoon clashed with a chilly wind, creating a drama unique to the wide open prairie. To the west the sun's setting cast a rich red-orange glow on the clouds, as if it were trying desperately to hold on to the last remnants of a glorious day. To the east it was blue-dark, brooding and overcast, foretelling what would be an ice-cold, misty night with not nearly enough rain to quench the dusty ground.
