The thread for Sunsets and Sunrises has got lately an impulse. So here is the start of Volume VI for new surprises of color.

Hans, I am so liking the browns and light orange in your Undulations At Sunset. Thanks too for helping with how to post text and photos. I am going need more practice. This sunrise looks like Sherbet Booties

Hi Hans, I really like your Undulations at Sunset! This is the first time I’m replying/posting on a forum, I see there are no like buttons etc, so do we just enter our comments or posts as a reply (as I am doing here)? Don’t know how this vertical pano will work!

May 27, 2020 at 6:14 pm #433796Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Such beautiful images closed Volume V, I can’t wait to see what this next batch brings. And thank you, Hans, for launching us with those soft, beckoning undulations.
A warm welcome to the forum, Meryl! Your pano works perfectly. As I scroll to see where it lands, I have the feeling of floating down like a wisp of cotton candy on a summer breeze. Delightful!
And Ruth, may I offer a a fluffy comforter to go with your lovely Sherbet Booties?

Keelin, I believe my booties would love your comforter. Your kind words are enlightening to us newer members, welcome Meryl. I can see that I am going to need more material to share.

Hans, Ruth, Meryl & Keelin— so many colors! Blues and purples, golds and oranges, reds and grays and browns and stirred up together– a veritable sky rainbow!
And welcome Meryl, to the forum- so glad you’ve joined in the fun :-)
Hans– thanks for kicking off the next volume as well.
I’m afraid I’ve been a bit preoccupied with kids at home, though I did manage to get out last night and was treated to a treasure-house of sunset deliciousness!

May 30, 2020 at 8:29 am #434125Hans StockerParticipant
What a great variety of sunsets from everywhere. Welcome in this thread Meryl. Your vertical pano works more than well. Love it. Booties, a Fluffy comforter, a Flambe to enjoy all ending in a well tuned quartet of very different looking sunsets. Are they all taken in one evening Daniel? That must have been a great ending of the day.

Hey Meryl— thanks— actually on the ground down in the Willamette Valley, Oregon— just a big zoom lens going deep into the horizon, gives the illusion of being in the clouds, which I love :-)
And yep, Hans— all the same evening– put on quite a show for me over an hour and a half or so.

May 31, 2020 at 10:12 am #434197Jocelyn NortheyParticipant
Such beautiful images to start off a new thread. Lovely warm oranges from Hans, Ruth, Keelin and Daniel. Welcome Meryl your lovely pano adds a new dimension.
Here is my pic from yesterday. It was lovely to see the sun, even for just a brief glimpse before the greyness rolled in again.

No eyebrows Don, but instead some delicate colors, especially the yellows on the first one. And an equally stunning Blaze of Color, Ruth.
Here is a French version.

Hans, I needed sunglasses for your Blaze! Just fabulous blend of oranges.

Holy cow, Hans! That is some rich sunset action! And your Blaze of Color, Ruth, reminds me of video I’ve seen of lava bombs splattering on the ground.
This one is a bit more subdued from the other night.

Hello everyone!
Today I have some pretty wonderful photos to share with you. It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, and so I thought I might as well come back with some pretty incredible stuff to show you all! These two were taken of the same sunset about 20 minutes apart. The second of the two is one of my favorite sunset pictures ever because of its deep red color in a nice little ribbon-like shape.
Enjoy! Hope you all are doing well!
-
July 28, 2020 at 2:02 pm #441881Hans StockerParticipant
I enjoy all the former posts without exception, but although maybe “Not so Dramatic” I toast with a glass of rose to that one Ruth.
Doomsday Sunset?
-
July 30, 2020 at 11:28 pm #442190Ruth QuistParticipant
Hans, your Doomsday is a bowl of blueberries and strawberries in cream to me. The colors are so spectacular.
Fresh Peaches
-
August 3, 2020 at 6:49 pm #442607Don HatfieldParticipant
My favorite cloud varies from time to time : sometimes lenticular, sometimes cirrocumulus undulatus, sometimes a pileus on a cumulus. Right now, it’s optical phenomena.
Thank you to Ruth and Hans for reminding me that sunset rays are ever and always fascinating.
Looking through some very old – 1999 – (have I been a cloudspotter that long?) film-based photos of mine, I stumbeled upon this one.
-
August 5, 2020 at 9:46 am #442777Hans StockerParticipant
Thanks Ruth. Your Fresh Peaches are mouthwatering as well.
And great shadows on your spotting from the former millennium Don :) The date can’t be an issue when it is such a great light show. Timeless in my opinion.
Another attempt.
Just A Moment In Time

Don you found a noce moment to capture this Cb at sunset coloring the anvil in reds.
And you captured a great shadow Ruth. Sorry to be a bit nerdy about it but that’s different from – and even the opposite of – a ray. But very nice anyway.
Blues At Sunset -
August 11, 2020 at 6:52 pm #443452Ruth QuistParticipant
Hans, not nerdy at all. I so appreciate any critique of my pictures. I don’t often know what I am seeing, but know what I like in taking a shot. Sometimes I just feel it in my gut when I have captured a nice worth while photo.
Blues At Sunset, those clouds just look happy to end a good day. Greys and yellows together work nicely.
-
August 15, 2020 at 12:47 am #443815Patricia L KeelinParticipant
Ruth, Michael, Hans, Gregory, Don, what a joy to see so many beautiful rays and shadows, a bit of moon, and fruit flavored skies spanning the color spectrum from all of you. Especially love the trick of light on wavelike clouds captured in A Bit Deceiving, Hans.
Anyone for another helping of dessert?

Might there also be some honey around at sunset?

A nice sunset in the Pacific NorthWest. Last night, a cloud formed over this mountain. I am not an expert but I believe it may be a Lenticularis cloud. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Sorry about the plane that was in the way
I hope you like it :)
Can you guess which mountain this is?
-
November 11, 2020 at 9:50 am #452096Hans StockerParticipant
You spotted a marvelous cap cloud Donatella. Love it, coloring in the sunset. Moist stable air is forced upward to pass the mountain, condenses while cooling when it gets higher and evaporates when the air descends on the other side of the mountain. This way the cap cloud reveals the flow of he air around the mountain. It is the same way pileus develops but that has to be on top of a (cumulus) cloud.

November 13, 2020 at 10:49 pm #452484Ruth QuistParticipant
Donatella, I love your photo! I think the airplane is an important element. It gives an incredible perspective to your picture. I will take a guess at Mt. Hood in Oregon.A Sedative

When I pictured next one I had no idea yet but later it seemed to me a roll cloud in the sunset. Or maybe not? Please correct me when I am wrong.
Rolling Sunset

November 22, 2020 at 6:01 pm #453843Gregory VenarskyParticipant
Ah yes,my favorite thread of all. Hello everyone, today I have for you a variety of wonderful clouds in this sunset photo, including a shadow from a thunderhead, some lenticularis,and layering of clouds. Ruth, Michael, and especially Hans(what an array of colors!) all of you have wonderfully beautiful photos. Hope you enjoy!
-
November 26, 2020 at 8:30 pm #454578Ruth QuistParticipant
Hans, your Rolling Sunset reminds me of a colorful rope. Hoping you did catch a roll cloud. Exciting if you did.

Since I’m usually not out during these photogenic bookends to the day, I especially appreciate all who continue to contribute to this beautiful thread. So many truly stunning images from everyone, and some I can’t help returning to see again and again (especially Michael’s #605, Hans’s Breakthrough, Ruth’s Getting Ready To Dance… and the river of mirrored clouds in Gregory’s Light Fog…) for the feelings of rapture they never fail to deliver.
The closest I’ve come to the twilight zone (well, at least in reference to clouds) is this photo below with just a hint of evening’s entrance from a couple of weeks ago. Wish I could have lingered longer to see it take on more classic colorations.

Lovely Twist, Ruth. That subtle layer of fog adds a nice depth to the scene.
