I went for a walk late yesterday and saw this moon rising above clouds over the mountain. As I came back closer to my house I saw the moon through the leafless liquid amber trees in the garden. I wanted to capture the wonderful moment.
Moonset at the Arch ~ After the storms finally blew through, clear skies at dawn let the moon show through to moonset. I had gone out to Mobius Arch (again), hoping for the dawn's light glowing from the east onto the Sierras, and for the moon to be thrown in for good measure. Success!
Purple Sunset at Grandview ~ While camping at Grandview Campground, a few miles from the Bristlecone Pines in the White Mountains, the sky had become increasingly cloudy, and I almost gave up on a sunset. Miraculously, when the time came, these glorious colors painted the western sky, becoming brighter and brighter, changing hues, and entertained me well for close to an hour!.
