Mountains near at hand use up the sky. Mountains a tad farther away can add to it.
These scenes greeted us on Christmas night.

Sun Dogs
- DiscoveriaWhen freezing winds have claimed the sky
suspending ice within the air,
a curious sight may greet the eye:
two lights beside the sun's bright eye.A sun dog, mock sun, phantom sun:
bright spots of light on either side
as if there isn't only one
but two stars by the centre one.You'll see them when the sun sits low
upon the land; when morning comes,
against the sunrise they may glow,
or fade into the sunset's glow.So marvel at the triple sun -
the radiant parhelion.Posted: 2024 Nov 29

Happy New Year!
Tom
Tom – Many thanks. Right back at ya.
The red sky in that last photo is a thing of beauty Isabel. We’ll done, and happy New Year.
Ken – Many thanks, and happy new year to Kenora, too.
From glory unto glory, gifts from on high. Thank you for sharing the Blessing!
Laurna – 🙂 🙂
I LOVE a wide open sky!!
Alison – We’re forming two lines . . . 🙂
Beautiful sky and excellent photos. I also caught a dramatic sunset on my walk yesterday afternoon. Makes me feel good, even if it is just a meteorological phenomenon.
Judith – Many thanks. It is a happy thing, isn’t it?
Hard to believe these are NOT unsaturated in Photoshop – gorgeous!
Barbara – 🙂 Many thanks. I did add a bit of “warm contrast” but it mostly brightened them up a tad.
Stunning views! I find it difficult to capture the beauty of a sunset in pictures. They do not often translate well. You have done a fantastic job! Living vicariously through your photos… Happy New Year!
Heather – I feel your difficulties. This sunset was much wider, of course, but the full view included lots of distracting elements, as it often does. Meanwhile, the zoomed view is a little narrow. But the colours came through well, even though the full IRL impact is missing. I think I need a wide-angle lens . . . 🙂 Glad you’re enjoying the photos.
