The Last Light

Silhouettes of sheep standing in a field against a glowing sunset, with bare trees along the horizon

The Last Light

A flock gathered along the field at dusk

About the photograph

A flock of sheep becomes a dark, measured frieze against the last amber light of day. The near-black ground and tree silhouettes give the quiet pastoral scene a grave, almost timeless weight.
