This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “golden hour” was chosen by Phunny, phunnyfotos.
Although this last week hasn’t seen too many golden hours as such, I did go for a good wander on two nights around sunset, and on one evening I was walking beneath a bower of red bottlebrush, and I noticed how the sun was just in the right spot to gild them in afternoon glow, highlighting the yellow stamens within the red blossom.
Callistemon, commonly known as bottlebrush because of its flowers, is a genus of shrubs in the family Myrtaceae, first described as a genus in 1814. The entire genus is endemic to Australia but widely cultivated in many other regions and naturalised in scattered locations. It comes in many varied colours, but the most common occurrence is red.
Since Bridge Lake sits high in the Cariboo mountain region, the clouds are closer to the ground / water level.
On this particular evening, the low on the horizon sunlight, lit up the clouds with a mesmerizing glow.
Bridge Lake sits at an elevation of 1136 m / 3727 ft, has a surface area of 13.76 km2, and a total shoreline perimeter of 47 km (the main shoreline is 30 km / 20 mi, and the combined shoreline of the islands is 17 km). The lake has 26 scattered islands. One island is an inland refuge for the Bonaparte gulls while another is a home base for bald-headed eagles. You can catch kokanee, lake trout and rainbow.

Fraser River Pathway
British Columbia
Canada
The Fraser River is the longest river within British Columbia, Canada, rising at Fraser Pass near Blackrock Mountain in the Rocky Mountains and flowing for 1,375 kilometres (854 mi), into the Strait of Georgia just south of the City of Vancouver. The river's annual discharge at its mouth is 112 cubic kilometres (27 cu mi) or 3,550 cubic metres per second (125,000 cu ft/s), and each year it discharges about 20 million tons of sediment into the ocean.
The river is named after Simon Fraser, who led an expedition in 1808 on behalf of the North West Company.
Stay healthy
Happy Clicks,

This week the theme, “golden hour” was chosen by Phunny, phunnyfotos.
Although this last week hasn’t seen too many golden hours as such, I did go for a good wander on two nights around sunset, and on both occasions the lovely bright pink dancing ballerina blossoms of this Yellow Gum caught my eye. The yellow of the gum’s bark looked especially yellow, basking in the late afternoon sun.
Eucalyptus leucoxylon, commonly known as yellow gum, blue gum or white ironbark, is a species of small to medium-sized tree that is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia.

One of the many things to love about the Arctic is that, during the Polar Night, there is a chance for a sunrise/sunset sky which lasts all day.
If the conditions are right, and when the sun is hovering just below the horizon for the few hours it lights up this part of the world in the depths of winter, it can create a beautiful, colourful sky which lasts the day.
This was taken in Arctic Norway. The "sunrise" started around 9.30 in the morning and this sky lasted for around five hours. The amazing glow didn't finally disappear until late afternoon, about three hours after the official "sunset" time.
Some beautiful sunsets in Moya on the North coast of Gran Canaria.

The sun lies low in the sky over the Mediterranean sea, as seen from a plane on my way to Rome, Italy.
Shot with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G lens, and processed in GIMP, with some tweaks in Photoscape.
An evening stroll on the seafront back home in Lancashire.
The textures of the sand and the water heading out into the Irish Sea at Anchorsholme are accentuated by the golden sun setting through some wispy clouds on the western horizon.
The tide was rapidly advancing at this point and I had to continually watch the water behind me on the is little sand bank otherwise I was wading back to shore!

This is a. view from another angle out of my windows looking towards the right of our own apt. building. We get to see all the sunsets whenever they occur.
Sunset from a few evenings ago. There have been others that have been more spectacular (long may the good weather last!) but I liked this one for the textured patterns in the clouds.

This afternoon's sunset taken from the top of Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in the centre of Athens.
Whytecliff Park is located in a beautiful corner of Howe Sound with a rugged coastline and spectacular views of colourful mountains and passing boats.
A rather precarious climb to the heights of this rock cliff. Careful footing was an absolute must.
West Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada
Coordinates:
49.374005°N 123.288832°W
15.63 hectares (0.1563 km2; 0.0603 sq mi)
Operated by:
District of West Vancouver
Status:
Open all year
Whytecliff Park is located near West Vancouver's Horseshoe Bay Neighbourhood, the original name of which was White Cliff City, which opened in 1909. In 1914, Colonel Albert Whyte pressed for the spelling change from White Cliff City to Whytecliff. The Whytecliff area is now distinct from Horseshoe Bay. The park, originally Rockcliffe Park, was developed by W.W. Boultbee in 1926, and a private access road was cut from the Marine Drive highway at Batchelor Bay.
The fifty acre Boultbee estate was purchased by the Union Steamship Company in 1939 and the company operated a Bowen Island Ferry from Whytecliff during 1939-41 and 1946-1952
The park is currently home to more than 200 marine animal species and is the first Marine Protected Area in Canada. Sea lions can be seen sunbathing on the beach during summer.

There are these old row houses on a busy street going up a hill.
I have rarely seen inside but they look like cute little apartments inside.

I took quite a few shots here trying to get the trees across the river. I didn't think any were going to turn out because of those damn trees on -this- side of the river. So I'd have to say it was mainly my camera that found this. :-)
