Sunset

Black and white. Gray sunset on the Israeli beach. Summer time

Shot this several days ago when I was leaving the parking lot of my office. Right now, I am in the comfort of my home while being bombarded with a blizzard outdoors. I can barely see to the other side of the commuter parking lot. This is amazing!! The wind is blowing and the snow is sideways. So cool to watch.

The waves on Lake Michigan are going to reach 20 feet at the height of this storm. I would give anything to be able to photograph that, but 1. its dark, 2. its totally not safe out there, 3. I live about 26 miles west of the lake, and 4. Im not not leaving my house and driving anywhere!

The aftermath of this storm will offer up some incredible photos. Work is called off tomorrow so maybe that will be my chance to put on my snow shoes and explore the local area. Cant wait :-)

Thank you Mark (baldwinm16) for suggesting I clone out the jet trail. It was on the very left of the frame. No big deal. But its gone. I like it better, too :-)

This is the Fox River just north of Oswego, Illinois. It was a race against time to find a good vantage point to catch this. I found this little park and pulled over. Didnt even care how I parked the car. Jumped out and captured this. What a beauty of a sunset we had and I am so glad I was right here, at this exact moment to catch this.

If you are working tomorrow, dont work too hard. If you have the day off, enjoy! If you are traveling, be safe and hurry home.

Have a great week everyone :-)

Crossover moment between day and night,

...wind stops blowing, air cools down, and the sky gets kaleidoscopic...

Let me take the last glimpse of this beautiful moment before the night falls!!

For Fenced Friday! When I was first planning my trip to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison I wasn't sure I would be able to tolerate walking out to all of the overlooks as I am somewhat fearful of heights. But it turned out that my fears were unfounded and I had no issues. I am posting this photo to give others a glimpse of what it is like in case they are somewhat worried. Such a gorgeous view from this spot. I can't wait to return.

A very "heavy" over Hatton Cross as the sun sets.

Not the typical Aer Lingus A320 on finals into Heathrow, Aer Lingus have been using their transatlantic A330 fleet on some evening trips between Dublin & Heathrow, namely their EI182/183 & later EI178/179 since the pandemic with all the extra air freight stuffed in the belly.

EI-GAJ " St Carthage / Mochuta ", an A330-330 usually found further afield in the likes of San Fransicso & Los Angelas on finals for 27L at Heathrow passes over Hatton Cross tube & bus station, just shy of the airport perimeter fence on Shamrock 182 from Dublin.

Sunset through the window.

Narikala Fortress, one of the oldest and most striking landmarks in Tbilisi, dates back to the 4th century, originally built by the Persians as a defensive stronghold. Perched on a hill, the fortress was later expanded by Arabs and Mongols, and has withstood the test of time. Walking through the ancient ruins, you can sense the centuries of history and the stories embedded in its stones. The view from the top of Narikala is breathtaking, offering a panoramic vista over Tbilisi. From this vantage point, you can see the winding Kura River, the iconic Metekhi Church perched on a cliff, and the towering Sameba Cathedral, one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. The old city below, with its charming wooden balconies and narrow streets, adds to the beauty of this historic cityscape.

At the base of the fortress lies the National Botanical Garden of Georgia, a peaceful green oasis where visitors can unwind amidst exotic plant species, serene pathways, and flowing streams. With its waterfalls and lush vegetation, the botanical garden offers a beautiful contrast to the ancient fortress above, providing a tranquil retreat that harmoniously blends nature with the city’s historical landscape.

Narikala-fort, een van de oudste en meest indrukwekkende monumenten van Tbilisi, heeft een rijke geschiedenis die teruggaat tot de 4e eeuw, toen het door de Perzen werd opgericht als verdedigingsbolwerk. Het fort, strategisch gelegen op een heuvel, werd later versterkt door de Arabieren en Mongolen en heeft sindsdien de tand des tijds doorstaan. Terwijl je door de ruïnes wandelt, voel je de eeuwenoude geschiedenis en de verhalen die in de stenen verborgen liggen. Het uitzicht vanaf de top van Narikala is adembenemend en biedt een schilderachtig panorama over Tbilisi. Van hieruit zie je de kronkelende Kura-rivier, het iconische Metekhi-kerkje op een klif, en de grote Sameba-kathedraal, een van de grootste orthodoxe kerken ter wereld, die het stadsbeeld domineert. Je kunt ook de oude stad bewonderen met haar karakteristieke huizen met houten balkons en smalle straatjes vol geschiedenis. Aan de voet van Narikala ligt de Nationale Botanische Tuin van Georgië, een serene, groene oase waar bezoekers kunnen ontspannen te midden van exotische plantensoorten, rustige paden, en stromende beekjes. De botanische tuin, met zijn watervallen en dichte vegetatie, biedt een prachtig contrast met het historische fort dat erboven uitrijst. Het is de perfecte plek voor een rustige wandeling, waarbij de natuur zich harmonieus vermengt met het historische landschap van de stad.

1 Kings 8:61

Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

Breathtaking sunset seen from Monastir's beach.

Is it just me or does anyone else imagine clouds like these to be mountains? When you don't look at them straight on, they kinda sorta do.

Anyway, this was my intended destination last night for the sunset, the intersection of Woodlawn Road and Perry Road in Lee County. The sun was to set in alignment to the road in the far distance and it did, but it was obscured too much by the cloud cover. I envisioned a big fat red sunset and illumination on the roadway but I'm ok with this shot. Afterall, I just drove over an hour to get here and I think its against some law for me to Not be happy with this shot...LOL. None the less, it was a beautiful drive and a nice relaxing way to end my work day.

My previous post, below, was taken when I was still about 15 minutes away from the above location. The cloud cover was obvious, even at this point, but I kept driving with hopes the clouds would miraculously go away.

They didn't.

So, a do-over is on order approximately March 19..............next year.

I'm patient :-)

God where are thou?

connecting now...

thank God

Staring at the sun, the power of light that gives lives on earth.

It took 723 steps to catch the perfect view of the sunset from Mount Tapyas. After more than ten years of not visiting Coron, I knew I am finally home away from home! Have a great weekend , my dear friends!
