Another Sunset

A Happy New Year to all my readers! Last weekend was quite the weather roller-coaster. According to the nearest official weather station (at the United States Air Force Academy), Saturday's low was -8 °F (-22.2 °C). But by Sunday afternoon we'd rebounded to 54 °F (12.2 °C). That's a change of 62 °F (34.4 °C) in just over a day! Here's a recent cellphone sunset Skywatch Friday shot to start 2019.

Peak Moods (14) - Fiery

I'm back from visiting family - I hope that my readers who celebrate it had a wonderful Christmas. Here's another of my Peak Moods photos showing the various moods of Pikes Peak as seen from our front porch. This is a recent spectacular sunset.

Ferry Shots

Here are a couple of leftover shots from a ferry ride between Connecticut and Long Island last Christmas. I can't figure out what meme they belong in but didn't want them to go to waste, and I'm trying to post all my older photos before starting on the big vacation we took a couple of weeks ago.

Pikes Peak Sunset

Here are a couple of shots taken towards Pikes Peak and the mountains after sunset.

New London Ferry Ride

A couple of weeks ago I posted from a ferry. Here's a Skywatch Friday photo from New London, Connecticut, the other end of that ferry ride. This was on a different day, but another cold one.

Wild Sky

The timing on this post is unfortunate given what's going on around Los Angeles, but this isn't fire, just clouds lit up from beneath by the sun around sunset. This is another shot straight out of the camera, all I did was reduce the resolution for posting on the blog.

Peak Moods (13) - Pastel Sunset

To answer a couple of questions on Monday's post, I didn't see sea otters, and the tree is a cypress.

We've had some spectacular sunsets over the last couple of weeks - here's a photo from last week of Pikes Peak taken from our front porch. This is straight out of the camera, except for reducing the resolution I did no editing on this.

Yet Another Summer Sky

Today's high temperature: 67 °F (19.4 °C). Tomorrow night's expected low: 9 °F (-12.8 °C) That's quite a difference! For Skywatch Friday, let's look back to summer before it takes a break (it will be warm again by Sunday).

High Line Sunset

While I was in New York I walked the High Line park, an unusual park that runs along an old elevated railroad line. Here's a shot I took just before the sun set. I've got several more posts to come from here.

Pismo Beach Sunset

As you may have figured out from the light in the last couple of posts, I was at Pismo Beach for the sunset. And here it is!

Sunny Beach Reflections

This bright photo was taken at Pismo Beach in central California last year.

Peak Moods (2) - Dramatic

Pikes Peak showed its dramatic side this week, so I figured I'd put up my second post in my Peak Moods series. Both photos were taken from our front porch, then cropped and edited to pull out the gorgeous colors.

 The whole sky was dramatic during this sunset!

Monday's Sunset

I was able to take a couple more good photos with my dying camera on Monday - I knew I had to try to capture this sunset for Skywatch Friday.

Beach Sunset

From the same Pismo Beach evening as the last set of photos, here's the sun going down. There's nothing like a sunset at the beach, with some mountains in the background. The light changes so dramatically.

Cloud

I loved the shape of this cloud last week and the way the evening light made it stand out.

Sunset

It's been too long since I've posted a sunset photo, so here's one from our back deck.

Pismo Beach Sunset

It's been winterlike the last couple of days, so here's a warm May photo from Pismo Beach, near San Luis Obispo, along the central California coast.

It's for Skywatch Friday.
