 This is me with my wife's guitar (I don't play an instruments) sitting in a field overlooking some nice rolling hills of Verona, WI. When I took this photo it was about an hour before sunset, so the sky didn't really have these colors. Some white balance and saturation adjustments took care of that problem :)

Lovely soft tone but I wish I could get more sound out of that guitar. The focus seems to be a very big piece of the sky. Meditative like the creative exercise of looking for inspiration in space before getting down to the business of music. I can see the music but I can't hear it.
