I'm looking forward to summer

And once again I will out on the eastern Colorado plains photographing massive fields of sunflowers that stretch for miles long as far as the eye can see.

To get this shot, I used a 2 stop Fotodiox Grad ND, Fotodiox CPL and my tripod all backed up to my Sony A77 and a Minolta 18-200mm lens.

I hope you all like it.

I lived east of Colorado Springs as a child. (It's probably the middle of town now. . ) I loved the sunflowers.

Beautiful shot with the sky like that, too. Sunset? Or sunrise? I would guess sunset given that the flowers
seem turned away from the sun. Or is that just the perspective?

Great shot.

I've only seen this many sunflowers in fields in Germany. A photograph of true splendor.
