A shot in portrait orientation, overlooking my neighbor's driveway and framing more of the deep blue sky.

This one came out nicely. I dare say it is worthy of Tane-Los, though I wish I knew how to airbrush out the anachronistic little telephone poles. Can anyone recommend a good digital airbrush software package?

I retook this one at least three times, to get it in focus. I think the nice color gradient makes it worth while.

Another example of the color gradient you see in a lot of midwestern American sunsets, especially in Kansas.

This is what I saw coming into my driveway after work that made me run inside and grab my digital camera.

More of the same - I wanted to be sure I got at least one good, clear shot of the tree line.

This one was a tad out of focus. The little bright dot in the bottom center of the photograph is a fluorescent street light.

I think I got a nice shot of the big, blue yonder here. This photo really conveys the openness of the Kansas sky. It reminds me of the cover of the _Dragonheart_ DVD. If only there weren't those stupid phone poles! The house and the water tower I could have cropped out.

A redundant shot, just in case it wasn't as in-focus as it looked.

Doesn't this one look as if it could have been dusk or dawn? It's a little out-of-focus, too.

The colors are still nice, but I thought I could airbrush out the phone lines. Pity this one is a little out of focus too.

Maybe I could still get some use out of the bottom part of this one as a banner. What do you think?

In case you were doubting that the small, bright white light is just a street lamp.

Another croppable one, zoomed far in. You can see more detail in the street light here, and I think the blurriness of the tree line is not quite as bad.

A landscape version, still out of focus. The autofocus does not work well with that street light.

Just the sky, panned up and zoomed in. This is the aspect of Tane-Los that the Terionach love: like blood staining the wine-dark sea.

Nearly sunset. The tree in the lower right looked stylized enough through the viewfinder, but I think it came out very "stained glassy" here.

I had run all the way down to the end of the block for this one, to get past the telephone lines. This is zoomed part-way in. It seems the tree line did not come out as crisply as I had hoped, though. Pity.
