Coming Home

Full Moon over Wisconsin Field

Coming Home © 2011 Bo Mackison

We spent much of yesterday on the road. As we approached Madison, we pulled over to switch drivers and attracted by an unusual, multicolored Wisconsin sunset, we paused to catch the show in the sky.

I have a habit I have learned as a photographer. Whenever I take a photograph, I always turn around to see what is behind me. I often find an equally interesting subject to photograph.

In this case, I caught the reflected sunlight on a sheared field, a row of boundary trees, a few low-lying clouds shining purple in the filtered light, and a nearly full moon.

Simple, yet satisfying. It was a reminder of how good it felt to be returning to my home.
