6th Place
Fields of Gold - Sting

by

Somewhere along Highway 15 South between Zion and Las Vegas

Driving down from Zion to Las Vegas,
the clouds broke at the horizon
Seeing its chance, the sun was bold
turning these fields to gold

(corny, i know, but i liked it :)). Taken by the side of highway 15S as the sun was setting and shining through a very slim break in the clouds at the horizon on my right. I chanced looking to my left and loved how this produced a golden glow in the foreground aginst the otherwise dark and gloomy sky so I pulled over and squeezed this shot out with the last juice left in my battery :)

Beautiful landscape. It is interesting to see the field lighting by the Sun under these heavy dark clouds. It is a perfect capture for this song.

Gaurav, perfect use of sunlight, and great song choice! [I've driven out there, makes me realize how huge this country is.] And arid!

Right on! I was hoping someone would do this one. Very nice. I love the stormy blue of the clouds as a backdrop; it really does bring out the Fields of Gold.
