This week in Columbia, Missouri we had some interesting sky art to look at. November clouds and early evening sunsets have been lovely. I live in a neighborhood on the west side of town, but I don’t have a clear view of the western sky to practice photography unless I get in the car and drive county roads westward.

Then, earlier this week I had a thought. The third plat of this subdivision has been prepped for new construction. Utilities are in, but no building is being done. If I go over there, I can see lots of sky and clouds, and it’s a two minute drive from my front door.

Here are a few photos taken with a prime lens, Fuji 33 mm F1.4 on my Fuji X-T3 camera. With a prime lens there is no zooming in and out. The photographer moves in, out, around, below, above, whatever. Since this is a 33 mm lens, I don’t get wide landscape shots. But here’s what I did get, and I’m pleased.
