I saw a massive moon rising over the highway on my way home recently. Of course, I didn’t have my camera with me. By the time I got back to this spot, the moon had risen further and become smaller in the sky. The sun continued to set behind me, so the sky did become more colorful. Overall I like the lights of the traffic, the sky, and of course the way the moon turned out!
A big old tree, and a colorful sunset over Grass Valley California.
Actually this isn’t a river, it is the ocean receding at low tide, but the crazy path the water chose to take is worth noting. I could have sat here all night taking photos of the dramatic sky, but the tide was coming back in and my path home was getting wetter by the second.
I ran by this exact spot about 20 minutes earlier, and the sun was sitting just below the lowest of the wires perfectly behind the clouds. By the time I ran back and got my camera, it had fallen below the trees. At first I was disappointed, but I like the way the tree blocks the direct light of the sun.
I looked out my window just before sunset and saw these day lilies in full bloom. I took advantage of the light just in time before they were covered in the shadows. Instead of focusing on one of them I decided to show how many of them there were in one frame.
On a hike out after a day of back country skiing, I was rewarded with this intense sunset. The mountains provided the perfect venue to take it all in and relax for a minute before heading back to the cabin. What a great day!
The Charles River surrounded by the city of Boston. I had a hell of a time getting this shot. There was a small tripod involved, lots of lights behind me reflecting on the glass, and oh yeah, tons of crazy kids jumping around so much the whole building was shaking. I was able to eek this out, and I don’t think it is half bad!
A favorite view of mine, and a fantastic sunset. I like the almost purple color in the sky with the intense orange reflected by the city skyline.
An old church steeple at sundown. I like the way it is reaching towards the whispy clouds in the sky.
