Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area sunset
Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area sunset
A Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area sunset near Morris, Illinois is a great spot to view this daily phenomenon. With unobstructed views for miles with nothing but tallgrass prairie and a few trees, one can see for miles. It helps to have a sunset framed over a picturesque glacial pond.
Usually a sunset gets better and better as the sun descends, but this was as good as it got during this hike as a bank of low laying thunder clouds hung on the horizon. The sun reflected off of these clouds and then disappeared behind the dark mass.
Adventure on!

Beautiful shot! Love capturing the sun at sunset and dusk with clouds. A storm approaching too, love it. Looks so peaceful.

Unfortunately, the low laying clouds blocked the sunset, but at least it did not rain.
