Surreal post-sunset

Surreal post-sunset

Marty’s photo of the day #4519: During each of the three nights we stayed at The Cabins at Terrace Beach (Ucluelet, Vancouver Island) earlier this month, Deb and I would take Nellie for a walk down to the beach to watch the sunset. On our last night there, the actual sunset wasn’t overly special. In […]

Frankenfurter, is that you?

Frankenfurter, is that you?

Marty’s photo of the day #4109: No, this isn’t a spaceship from the planet Krichardia, or the giant lips of Dr. Frankenfurter, returning to sing one more time. Instead, it’s a sunset as seen from Antelope Island in Utah. Distant mountains, hidden by smoke, create the optical illusion.

Antelope Island sunset

Marty’s photo of the day #4084: I shot this sunset photo last Saturday, while standing on Antelope Island, overlooking the Great Salt Lake. If you look closely, you will see what appears to be a jagged piece cut out of the bottom of the sun. That’s the top of a mountain, obscured by smoke from […]

Last year’s visit was too brief, so we’re going to stay longer this time. There’s so much to explore! This photo is from last year—the […]

Marty’s photos of the day #3756-3759: Never in my life have I enjoyed sunsets more than I did when Deb and I explored the American Prairie Reserve earlier this month. Montana’s “big sky” made the sunsets linger, and there was just enough haze—either blowing up from the prairie or from distant forest fires—to make the […]

Sunset on the American Prairie Reserve

Sunset on the American Prairie Reserve

Marty’s photo of the day #3723: Sunsets were one of the big highlights of visiting the American Prairie Reserve earlier this month. Seemingly every sunset was better than the one before it, and there was just enough haze—either blowing up from the prairie or from distant forest fires to make the colors spectacular. Today’s photo […]
