Description
The frightened herds of clouds across the sky
Trample the sunshine down, and chase the day
Into the dusky forest-lands of gray
And sombre twilight. Far and faint, and high,
The wild goose trails his harrow, with a cry
Sad as the wail of some poor castaway
Who sees a vessel drifting far astray
Of his last hope, and lays him down to die.
Excerpted from the poem Dusk by James Whitcomb Riley
The scene is a late January dusk as a deep chill settles into the Missouri countryside. The temperature dipped to 4 degrees Fahrenheit. The structure on the horizon is the Labadie power plant, referred to as the 'Labadie Stacks'.

William, I like the motion in this shot. I get a feeling of drifting, almost as if the power plant is a large paddlewheel riverboat, which was my first thought on glancing at the photo. Beautiful combination of colors with gray/lavender foreground against that vermillion along the horizon. voted
Andy Prendy
Intriguing image, slightly sinister in its industrial wintry-ness combined with the traditional sunset motif. Thought provoking as always. (v)
William Fields replied:
Thanks Andy. My intent was to show an industrial source of pollution in a way that would conflict the viewer. Is it a beautiful sunset or is it a sunset created by the acrid smoke from the power plant? Just what is trampling down the day? So glad you picked up on the inner theme. Thanks again.
