This is a valley that is four miles long between Boxley and Ponca, Arkansas. At daybreak and dusk, you can often see elk that come out to feed. The elk herd was re-established in this area, and now total more than 800 elk.

Night landscape!! ^_^ Love them all too. huiching · 2010-03-06: 18:14

Lovely shots. Lynda · 2010-03-06: 18:31

We say lots of elk warning signage on our trip but NO elk... so now I've seen them! Beautiful third shot, incredible light! DancingDolphin · 2010-03-06: 18:43

Beautiful shots! #3 is going in my favorites. SunFlower1990 · 2010-03-06: 19:01

Great shots of the elk, and I also love #3 of the barn. darfoster · 2010-03-06: 19:21

Larry: Those are some awesome shots. I like what you said about turning your cam 180 degrees and shoot whats behind. I had a similar experience (visually not photographically) The sun setting was blazing orange in my rear view mirror yesterday when coming home from work and infront of me the sky went from pink at the horizon to dark blue. Kind of like the soap opera "the edge of night" ????? · 2010-03-06: 19:40

You stole my barn shot...but, I'm forgiving by nature! djnana · 2010-03-06: 21:05

Your wife was right, this is an incredible set! love, love the third shot!!!!!!! ????? · 2010-03-06: 21:05

whoa- that barn shot is awesome, well done!!~ The colors are just amazing!!~ (we have so many elk here the ranchers consider them a nuisance and hire folks to come hunt them; they ruin trees and structures!) urmysunshine · 2010-03-06: 21:05
