Just like Shakespeare wrote, it's what I sometimes feel about posting here cause there's not much going on. Have been out running dogs, but except for the time I got dumped and had to walk home from across the valley, nothing terribly exciting. Since I've forgotten to take the camera with me on these last few trips, here's some more sunset photos.
As noted earlier (Snow and Cold 2/12/24), the low angle of the sun this time of year makes for excellent sunsets.
Alpenglow in the trees is common on clear days at sunrise and sunset. According to Wikipedia: Alpenglow (from German: Alpenglühen, lit. 'Alps glow') is an optical phenomenon that appears as a horizontal reddish glow near the horizon opposite to the Sun when the solar disk is just below the horizon. Strictly speaking, alpenglow refers to indirect sunlight reflected or diffracted by the atmosphere after sunset or before sunrise. This diffuse illumination creates soft shadows in addition to the reddish color. The term is also used informally to include direct illumination by the reddish light of the rising or setting sun, with sharply defined shadows.
