The sunsets very seldom come across the eastern sky and hills to the west of us to glow over the pond here at headquarters. This is just the 2nd time since we've lived here that I have been able to capture this. Wanted to share them with all of you.

 

If you want to see the most amazing sunsets - come to New Mexico!

A small and picturesque hamlet, surrounded by lush green hills, with the Teesta River flowing below it, Singhik is a great place that offers the most magnificent view of Mt. Khangchendzonga and Mt. Siniolchu.

Trishul is a group of three Himalayan mountain peaks of western Kumaun, Uttarakhand, with the highest (Trishul I) reaching 7120m. The three peaks resemble a trident - in Hindi/Sanskrit, Trishula, trident, is the weapon of Shiva. The Trishul group forms the southwest corner of the ring of peaks enclosing the Nanda Devi Sanctuary, about 15 kilometres west-southwest of Nanda Devi itself. The main peak, Trishul I, was the first peak over 7,000 m (22,970 ft) to have ever been climbed, in 1907.

I wonder if there was a guy named Earl and thats how this little town got its name. Tracks running through the town led right into a beautiful sunset. Those poles on the left were from my previous post and a little east of this spot.

 

Okay, it's obvious I did some button pushing. Hubby said he really liked it...let me know what y'all think! :D

This is where I go and sit down when I run out of inspiration, no two days are same with this view. It almost feels like I play the same movie again and again and see different content everyday.

Located on the banks of Supin river in Govind National Park, be enthralled by the relatively unknown, unspoiled and incredible beauty of the village of Gangad; definitely among the most picturesque Himalayan settings.

A magical vision that I share with you. I felt very lucky to have seen this. It's a very rare sight.

 

Iridescent clouds are a beautiful phenomenon-but they're rarely seen and even less frequently photographed.

 

Iridescent clouds, known as "fire rainbows" or "rainbow clouds," occur when sunlight diffracts off water droplets in the atmosphere. And the recipe for these heavenly sights is actually pretty simple.

 

What happens is that the cumulus cloud, boiling upwards, pushes the air layers above it higher and higher. As the air gets pushed upwards, it expands and cools. And sometimes moisture in that air suddenly condenses into tiny droplets to form a cap cloud.

 

No Photoshop.

 

This "cap"—which scientists call a "pileus"—is the source of the brilliant spectacle.

 

The droplets in the cap cloud scatter sunlight to form the gorgeous colors.

A "cloudy day" usually indicates 'drab'. Certainly not in this photo! I isolated the sky and clouds because, in my opinion, inclusion of the mountains and trees detracted from the natural beauty of the sky.

Winter is not done yet. After being lulled into a false sense of an early spring Old Man Winter reminded us once again that this is his time of year.

I snapped this just as the temperatures were starting to rise and the sun was peaking over the horizon. The mist is rising gently off the lake and the clouds are reacting to sun and temp creating a beautiful pink and lavender sky. The trees are screaming for Spring as I am!

An amazing cloudy sunset at the beach. Hope you like it.

 

With 3.5 miles of Southern California beaches and over 340 days of sunshine, the Santa Monica Beach is a prime piece of California coastline and a welcome retreat for vacationers and locals alike with a range of activities for everyone. People love to gather at this California beach, partially because it is so pristine.

 

Santa Monica Beach in particular is a natural asset that they take great care to preserve; the city of Santa Monica cleans and rakes the sand daily, and even offers a “trash valet” service on Fridays, weekends and holidays. Lifeguard stations are staffed during all daylight hours – though the lifeguard headquarters provides 24-hour assistance year-round.

 

Santa Monica. California.

Reflections On A Question Not Asked (JHWatkins)

 

I would not worship nature,

but

watch the firestorms

of evening Eden’s

colliding with collars of stars,

bordering the spreading blankets...

flowing......floating on mist.

 

Here deep spells

speak to rising hearts

of early years... tears...

and beginnings,

failed then

flourishing

in fading light.

 

Many the meetings in mirrors,

Reflection souls,

Broken and healed,

Sing out, having heard the cry

Wishing, then wondering-

Then washed by

colors of the night.

 

I would not worship nature

but cry quietly at

whispers of deep dreamy forests

drumming with wooden warmth

lost in caverns,

ascending in autumns,

forsaken in fragments

and

flames of the glowing day.

 

Come softer than nature,

with wounded revelations,

Waves of somber subtle summers,

winters, and springs-

Come straighter and stronger,

on strict lines of deft decisions

resting by quietest waters

of heart streams

that have come home

to the

fountain of the universe.
