The interior of Bootle's Dennis Trident 2/Alexander Dennis Enviro400 4426 (MX09LXH) as we proceed along Aigburth Road. Photo taken on 17/10/11.
The 12 Enviros at Bootle differ from Birkenhead's in several ways: Bootle's were delivered in the older Arriva livery, are equipped with the latest Euro5 engines and have a different interior style. The seats lack headrests and are fitted with the coloured blocks moquette, while the floor and poles are the older black and yellow arrangement. All-in-all, these are nice buses and arguably superior to Birkenhead's despite the seating.

Sunset, also called sundown in some American English dialects, is the time at which the sun disappears below the horizon in the west. It should not be confused with dusk, which is the point at which darkness falls, some time after the beginning of twilight when the sun itself sets.
The sunset is often more brightly colored than the sunrise, with the shades of red and orange being more vibrant. The atmosphere responds in a number of ways to exposure to the sun during daylight hours. In particular, there tends to be more dust in the lower atmosphere at the end of the day than at the beginning. During the day, the sun heats the surface of the Earth, lowering the relative humidity and increasing wind speed and turbulence, which serves to lift dust into the air. However, differences between sunrise and sunset may in some cases depend more on the geographical particulars of the location from which they are viewed. For example, on a west-facing coastline, sunset occurs over water while sunrise occurs over land.
The timing of sunset varies with the time of year and the latitude of the location from which it is viewed. The timing also varies in local time within a given time zone, determined by each location's precise longitude. Changes in timing of sunset are driven by the axial tilt of Earth, the spherical shape of the Earth, and the planet's movement in its annual orbit around the sun. Some apparent anomalies exist however. In the Northern Hemisphere, the earliest sunset does not fall on the winter solstice around December 21, but instead it occurs earlier in December. Likewise, the latest sunset does not fall on the summer solstice around June 21, but instead it happens later in June or in early July, depending on your latitude. The same phenomenon exists in the Southern Hemisphere except with the dates swapped. For one or two weeks surrounding both solstices, both sunrise and sunset get slightly later or earlier each day. Even on the equator, sunrise and sunset shift several minutes back and forth through the year, along with solar noon. This effect is plotted by an analemma.
Due to Earth's axial tilt, the direction of sunset in the northern hemisphere is always to the northwest from the March equinox to the September equinox, and to the southwest from the September equinox to the March equinox. Sunsets occur precisely due west on the March and September equinoxes, and the duration of day and night are precisely 12 hours on the Equinoxes for all viewers on Earth.
As sunrise and sunset are calculated from the leading and trailing edges of the sun, and not the centre, this slightly increases the duration of "day" relative to "night". Further, because the light from the sun is bent by the atmospheric refraction, the sun is still seen after it is below the horizon. This effect is a daily illusion along with sunrise. The sun also appears larger on the horizon, which is another optical illusion, similar to the moon illusion.
As a visual motif, sunset is often associated with summer, and (particularly when paired with a coconut palm) beach living and surfing culture. This may be due in the first instance to people spending more time outdoors in the evening during summer than during winter, and also because pictures of sunsets over the sea are often more spectacular than daytime beach scenes (see images below). Sunset is also a symbol of west, old age, ending, and closure.
Technical detail
The red hues of the sky at sunset and sunrise are caused by Mie Scattering[citation needed], not Rayleigh Scattering. The colors of the sky throughout the day and at sunrise and sunset, are explained by the phenomena of both Rayleigh Scattering and Mie Scattering. The colour of the sky described by Rayleigh Scattering applies to the hues of blue, violet and green, not to the reds, oranges, peaches and purples of sunrise and sunset. Rayleigh Scattering is scattering of shorter wavelength light (e.g. blue & violet) by air atoms and molecules (not statistical variations in density of the Earth's atmosphere). The magnitude or strength of Rayleigh Scattering varies by the reciprocal of the wavelength raised to the fourth power, and hence does not explain the beautiful variations of reds, purples, oranges and peachy colors. The latter colors arise from Mie Scattering, low angle scattering of light off dust, soot, smoke and (ash) particles. Mie Scattering (producing the colors of sunset and sunrise) is beautifully recognizable down-wind of and after dust storms, forest fires and volcanic eruptions that inject large quantities of fine particulate matter into the atmosphere. A number of eruptions in recent times, such as those of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 and Krakatoa in 1883, have been sufficiently large to produce remarkable sunsets and sunrises all over the world. Sometimes just before sunrise or after sunset a green flash can be seen.

This is a grand place, that photographs do not entirely do justice to. Well not mine anyway! The photo is taken looking east across the Ngozumpa Glacier, to the equally stone covered Gyubanar Glacier. Not very pretty as glacial scenery goes, and somewhat reminiscent of a Great War battlefield! The first two peaks on the right are the Kangchung Peaks and the third peak is Nirekha Peak. Everest and Lhotse/Nuptse dominate the distant view, with the South Coll showing clearly between them.
I arrived in Yosemite during stormy weather and it continued through the next morning. I woke up the first morning and looked outside and decided to just sleep in. The storm passed and by the second morning the storm was gone. I looked outside and saw clear skies so I didn't think there would much of a sunrise, but it was my last day in Yosemite so I had to get out and see the park at sunrise. The conditions didn't seem promising so I wasn't in a rush to get to any specific spot and I got in the car about 10 minutes before sunrise. As I was driving near El Capitan, my girlfriend looked out the back window towards the sun and said, "The sky is turning pink!" That got me excited and luckily Valley View was only minutes away. I parked, grabbed my camera and tripod as fast as I could and just starting exposing. There wasn't any time to find some interesting foreground element, and I'm glad I didn't look for one because the color started to fade quickly, less than a minute after I got there. This isn't the ultimate Valley View photograph but it was my first trip to Yosemite and I'm happy just to have witnessed this in person.
The funny thing is that I wasn't planning on shooting at Valley View during this trip. I checked it out the day before and I figured there were so few parking spots that I wouldn't find parking and I'd miss the sunrise. When I shot this one, there was only two other people there. Also, when I checked it out the day before, I didn't even like this spot. The water level was so high that there were no foreground elements except for a few rocks here and there that I thought would surely be taken by some photographer that got there earlier than me. This image ended up being my favorite out of the whole trip.
Ever since I got into photography and saw Ansel Adams' work, I've always wanted to come to Yosemite. Over the years I feel like I've been building up all this anticipation, to the point of thinking a trip to Yosemite might be some kind of spiritual and potentially life changing experience. From all the pictures I've seen and films I've watched about Yosemite, it gives it this grand, majestic, awe-inspiring feel. Part of me was fearing that I had built this place up so much that I would be disappointed when I got there. I have to say, it wasn't exactly how I built it up to be. But that wasn't a bad thing. Yes, the views are breathtaking and the towering granite cliffs are awe-inspiring but what I felt most in Yosemite was how peaceful it was. Maybe it was due to the fact that it was a break from a difficult semester of school, a change from the hectic city life, or the fact that I visited during the park's off season, but that was the strongest feeling I got from being there.

December was super busy. I took my national boards (passed..!), the kiddo had a minor operation (waiting in waiting rooms is exhausting--I’ll remember that), and my patients, for one month, finally had real insurance. Deductibles take 11 months to pay and then people finally can have the hernia repaired or some other elective operation--our insane medical system at work. It may sound crass, but I feel like a farmer at harvest when December rolls around. And it’s done and that is good.
I have more time to be loved by my family which helps me love them back better. I have time to think about what a dog sees on a walk and make the picture. Both the love and the dog make me happy. I feel happy, and I am not going to talk myself out of it.
