First sunset as a Midwesterner
|
In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field. |

I took a short walk down the road tonight at sunset. In about 3 minutes walking distance from my door, I have a true 360° view of the sky. I could only stand there and think about how blessed I am to see this expanse of atmosphere, and to know that it is no longer going to mean a 7 hour drive to see it this way. It's actually my 'backyard' now. Many find this landscape boring - but to me, the huge sky is only a canvas - well, more like a huge ultra-high res big-screen HDTV with infinite surround sound - that will be repeatedly filled with incredible sights. To me even the clear blue sky is a sight in itself when it's this big. Spring and summer should be an awesome time. Anyway, here is the view to the east from this point:

And to the west, just as the sun begins crossing the horizon:

As I approached the tracks on the walk back home, the faint sound of air horns became audible from the west. An eastbound double-stack container train appeared in the distance and rolled past.

Yeah, I think this place will work...
Nice pictures. Caleb's gonna love looking at the train crossing.

When you all come to visit I'm sure he'll be at the window watching every one :) I've been doing the same thing for the past day!
