Sometimes it’s worth remembering to look away from the sunset, too. I stopped to capture this view yesterday.
(Incidentally: yes, there are signs and light poles inside the pond. The park doubles as a flood control basin.)

Fragments of a #CircumhorizonArc seen on my way back from lunch today. I took some shots with my phone, because that's what I had, then remembered that I had the good camera with me and grabbed it from the office. The clouds had shifted, but not far enough to destroy the effect completely.

Oh, and saturation has been enhanced on both photos to bring out the colors.

Just realized: autocorrect turned “cirrus clouds” into “citrus clouds” in the image descriptions. Yes, both of them.
TODO: link Flickr & Pixelfed posts to blog entry
Found this shot looking through photos from my old phone. It's from the outdoor part of a mall.
The western horizon was blocked at sunset…but the view upward wasn’t!

Rising above the clouds… I tried a lot of crops on this (otherwise it’s unmodified) but finally settled on the square because I wanted enough of both the rooftops and the sky bracketing the clouds and mountain, and I wanted to steer clear of some of the foreground buildings that would have appeared on the sides and break up the layout.
Breaking through.
Late afternoon sunlight breaking through the clouds last Thursday.
The wind was steadily blowing from the left of the frame at ground level, and apparently at the level of a popular flight path as well. The angle of the sun makes the contrails’ shadows stand out sharply, and you can really tell the older trails from the newer ones by how far they’ve spread out.

The first thing I noticed when going through my photos for the orange challenge is that I take a lot of sunset pictures! I made a point to mix it up and narrowed it down to twelve shots, then checked out how they looked together and settled on six. Then I realized I’d forgotten to upload one, and couldn’t bear to leave it out, bringing the gallery up to seven.
Ragged clouds in a blue sky, lit up yellow-orange just like a Maxfield Parrish painting…a bird of paradise flower…a cosplayer at Comic-Con dressed in a jumpsuit, wielding a Portal gun…ocean waves reflecting another sunset, made even deeper orange than usual by smoke from a wildfire….visiting the big orange balloon at Orange County’s Great Park…torches lighting the gateway to Adventureland at night…and finally a sunset shot, silhouetting the Manhattan Beach Pier…
Puffy clouds and reflections. The holes in the side of the building are for a major remodel. They just took down a plywood and scaffolding garbage chute that ran down the outside of the building.
Cloud shadows and an airplane.
Cloud shadows on the sky. The late afternoon sun is off to the right. The shadows were just barely visible to the naked eye, so I’ve increased the contrast severely.
Cloudy sunset behind power lines.
Wispy late afternoon clouds. #sunset #clouds #silhouette #sky
