nothing to do with anything

Submitted by penstemon on

As everyone now knows, I got a camera, and find taking pictures irresistible. Even if they're terrible. My wife took all the pictures but she only photographed what she wanted to, which was kind of frustrating.
Here's what the sunset looked like five minutes ago.

That is amazing!  :o :o :o

I think that would be the sunset of the decade for us over here!

Denver has a reputation for glorious sunsets, but this was exceptional.

For me too! Haven't seen the sun properly for weeks!
That picture made me think of summer ;D

Like a couple years ago my daughter rested in a hammock (11.30PM) and a friend paddled the sailboard in lack of wind ;)

Keeping with the sunset theme....here's one my sook on the way home from a hike up Camel's Hump in Huntington, VT about an hours drive northeast from where I live. It was the more gorgeous sunset I had seen in a long while. :o

Is that sunset the color they call "Sky Blue Pink". ;)

I'm not sure what to call it but absolutely gorgeous! It was really those colors! :o

Amy, just so that you know, you can edit your own messages even after they've been posted, useful to fix typos or make subsequent edits. On your messages, just click the small paper & pencel icon to the right side of your message (for basic text edits) or the same icon in the upper right of your message where it is labeled Modify... that version gives you all of the formatting controls and options.

I love that picture of Trond's - what a great place to live. One of my all time favourite places is a river valley in South Wales, just to the west of the Brecon Beacons. The valley becomes increasingly dramatic as you walk down it past a series of waterfalls, ending in one you can walk behind (you can just make out myself and the dog in the second picture). It has the wonderful Welsh name 'Ystradfellte'. The Brecons themselves are very gentle mountains much used by the army for training (they run up and down them!) or by us for taking the dog for a walk!

Thank you Tim! However, I do not live there permanently, it is my summer house ;) The summer climate is far better than where I live though!

Not a bad place for a walk either!

Amy, a dramatic sunset anyway!
I couple a red sunset to a windy next day, is that right?

Tim what a gorgeous spot for dog-walking! Lucky you!

Trond..."I couple a red sunset to a windy next day, is that right?"

The saying goes that I know of.."Red sky at night, sailor's delight"..."Red sky in morning, sailor's take warning"

I don't recall if the next day was windy, but it sure was that day on top of Camel's Hump. That's one of the tallest mts. in Vermont and a very popular hiking destination.

When I think of it you are right! in Norwegian: "Aftenrød gir god natt, men morgenrød gir drypp i hatt" and "Østa glette gir våte hette, men vesta klare vil lenge vare!".
