I struggled with what to call this photograph I took along Piney Woods Church Road this evening. It really isn’t a sunset — that was still half an hour away when I took this photo. The Sun was descending behind a thunderhead cloud, and the lighting was lovely. But what was it? “Sun going behind large dark cloud” doesn’t quite express it. So I opted for “Sun’s Descent” despite its somber overtones. It seems to fit the photo well, and also is appropriate on the occasion of Memorial Day.
