I love sunset on the water

Sunset on New England’s “West Coast” (Lake Champlain)

Our hobby allows us to appreciate things I’ll bet most never notice.

Looks like some photos of the week photos in this post

Sunsets can be striking on urban rivers, too – paddling down to watch the barge-launched fireworks on the 4th of July where the 3 big rivers meet at downtown Pittsburgh. Paddling back upstream after the show is over, the river turns from liquid gold to silver, sparkling with the reflected lights from the many bridges.

Natures water colors! I never tire of sunsets and sunrises. Mother Nature’s brilliant and subtle palette of color. Painting the clouds with the rays of our sun as her brush strokes. A dynamic and ethereal creation of the grandest scale bracketing the mystery of night, and the clarity of day.

And a good photographer. That’s the last complement you get from me for awhile, so enjoy it.

Even without vivid colors, twilight can be gorgeous: looking down the Baye Marguerite towards the Saquenay Fjord off the Ste. Lawrence River in Quebec.

JBER?

My acronyms are Army, and ancient.

That’s what she said.

The joint base is fairly recent – an old friend of mine spent his AF deployment on radar duty during the Viet Nam years at one of the predecessor bases, Elmendorf.

We were back on Hartwell for sundown tonight. Beautiful but I left my phone home.
