"WellingSun"

This area is dedicated to the hometown sunrises and sunsets that paint the skies over my hometown, Wellington, Kansas.

From the first golden light breaking across the prairie at dawn to the deep orange glow settling over the horizon at dusk, WellingSun exists to capture the beauty, calm, and character of our small-town skies from above.

These moments are more than just photographs. They are snapshots of home.

The water towers, railroad tracks, lakes, parks, wheat fields, historic landmarks, quiet neighborhoods, and endless Kansas horizons all become part of a living canvas shaped by light, weather, and season. No two mornings are the same. No two sunsets ever truly repeat.

Through drone imagery and aerial storytelling, WellingSun highlights the peaceful side of Wellington that many people drive past every day without stopping to notice.

This collection is dedicated to:

• Small-town pride

• Kansas prairie skies

• Local landmarks

• Storm light and seasonal color

• Memorial mornings and peaceful evenings

• Community memories captured from above

Whether it is the sunrise reflecting off Doughnut Bay, the evening glow over Woods Park, golden-hour light on the Chisholm Trail Museum, or the silhouette of the Wellington water tower against a fiery sky, WellingSun is about preserving the atmosphere and identity of home.

Because sometimes the most beautiful views are the ones we almost forget to look up and appreciate. 🌅
