Back in August, while attending Riverboat Days Summer Arts Festival in Yankton, I spent time on the Missouri River capturing the change in light as the sun set.

While waiting for the right lighting and creating compositions, I noticed this mom and her daughter fishing. It was so sweet.

As the sun swiftly began it’s decent, bursts of rays shot out from behind the clouds.

The colors were amazing!

I was near Gavins Point Dam and drove over the dam grade as the light continued to fade. Being landlocked in the western prairies, it’s almost hard to believe this is part of South Dakota. Cowboys and Sailboats all in one state.
