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

In a speech to the Liberal caucus @JustinTrudeau said "Our universal public system has long been a model to the world". But if so, can he name one single country that ever tried to imitate it anywhere? Or is he just a blatherskite? https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/poilievre-challenges-trudeau
"...we need leaders, including...elected officials & bureaucrats, who...see themselves as problem fixers & who understand...that that is what their jobs are & that they are no longer what they've been able to be for generations: hands-off middle managers of stable prosperity."

Ontario chapter of the Foundation Against Racism & Intolerance @fairforall_org has put out a statement regarding the racially segregated theatrical performance at @CanadasNAC. Since 2016, National Arts Centre has received $235m from taxpayers—none of whom want to fund segregation
"The videotape...shows how bias or dislike for some figures can make you prone to assuming the worst or most sensational interpretation of limited facts. We can all be susceptible to such bias in today’s heated political environment."
Some claimed that Pelosi knew his attacker. Others suggested that there was no emergency when police first arrived. Both claims were shattered by this videotape and offer yet another cautionary tale of the viral claims that can take hold in early coverage. https://jonathanturley.org/2023/01/28/the-pelosi-tapes-the-video-of-the-october-attack-show-new-details-and-refute-sensational-theories/
Beautiful photos, Isabel..
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.
