personal note: as i write this, this property and dozens near it have been evacuated due to a dramatic increase in violence of the ongoing eruption at the eyjafjallajökull glacier. i wanted to take a moment to extend my best wishes to helga haraldsdóttir (the proprietor of this particular farm), her family, and immediate neighbors during this event... i hope you all return home safely, soon.
if you're curious how close the volcano is: that snowcap—that's the glacier. further, a careful observer can actually see smoke from the low-level eruption from last week, billowing in the upper right corner of this frame. it was so close that after the sun set, darkened skies glowed magma-orange all night.
Over the last three weeks we've had some interesting sunsets. These are taken from my deck at the rear of the house. I'm in the CA Foothills & the distant mountains are the CA Coast Range. Between the panos are pairs of images from the same evening generally taken at different parts of the sunset. One with the sun above the horizon and the next after the sun is at or below the horizon. After the 2nd pano are some ICM's .
