Curvaceous Coulee - ND coulee winding through the prairie at sunset near Brinsmade ND Metal Print

"Curvaceous Coulee"
I caught this image a few weeks ago in ND at the coulee northeast of Brinsmade. Sun had already set, but light/color just kept getting better and better. I mounted camera on tripod, legs fully extended and raised it way above my head (using 15 sec timer to trigger shutter) to get above some foreground shrubs that were blocking the nice view of the curvy coulee. If you zoom in, you'll see the seagulls gliding in the sky above the coulee.

Image captured 5/21/19 with Pentax K-1 and DFA50mm lens.

Peter Herman was born and raised on a farm in North Dakota.
