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.
As you can tell i am visually inclined. Love taking photos, and showing them! They were meant to be shared. Also really enjoy seeing the fabulous photos other have posted!

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

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

Last night at Silver Beach. 87 degrees at 8 pm but just delightful if you are standing in Lake Michigan.
Lovely photo - the calm before the storm?
Much nicer than last night up here, where we had a tornado warning (EF-0 made a brief touch down in the forest) followed by 3.5 inches of rain. I normally don’t have such exciting nights.
