Summer Sunset Sinking Low

Photo of the Day 219/365

 


A few days ago, as is my normal habit, when there is a sunset, I do my best to get out for a walk and see what I can capture. I'm not sure why, but I've always loved sunsets and sunrises. Sunrises, now that I'm retired, are not such an attraction anymore, but sunsets still are. This one seemed particularly pretty. The clouds down near the horizon and being able to capture the sun just before it disappeared made for a nice shot.

Friday Nature:  A couple of weeks ago, we were on a mini-vacation to New York. At the Eastman House mansion, we got to do a self-guided tour. Behind the main home was an expansive garden. At the far end of the garden was a planting of sunflowers. I'm not known as a gardener but I can appreciate the work and the beauty. There ere many sunflowers in this planting but this natural arrangement got my attention.

Simple Spring Sunrise Sky Photo of thd Day 88/365 I took this photo yesterday morning on the way to work. Initially, I saw the bright reds at the horizon. However, when I got my car stopped in a safe spot and got out, I saw the "big picture" of the sky. The open sky, the few simple clouds, and the blue to red above, I had to take the larger shot. It was the start to a great (but VERY long) day.

Sunset View through the Window Photo of the Day 83/365 This photo was taken earler in the season. It was taken while waiting for some co-workers while on the campus of the university where I work. We were having dinner and were trying to wait their arrival but travel delays caused things to be late. I decided to look around and see what could be captured - this was the result.

Snow and Ice by the Lake Photo of the Day 51/365 This photo was taken at our local State Park (Gifford Pinchot) and it was a cold sunset sky. It had been cold enough for some time for the lake to freeze over. The snow had started to melt due to the sunshine and that eveing, the sunset was wonderful (but cold). That lade is and will be, one of my fave local spots.
