      Volume 9 hit 100 with a nice orange glow sunset from Ruth and 99 other cool sets and rises. You should check it out if you missed it or if you just want to look at all the fun again.

      So allow me to begin Volume X (ten) of photos of set and rises with some fun I had last July.

      Great start of this new volume Michael. With more bold colors, Ruth. Number #103 took me back to some spottings a few years ago.

      Nice shot Ruth, nice rich sunset color as with  your photo Hans and the blues!..Thanks to you both for your comments. It all starts with how the shot is being programmed to be recorded. I haven’t used Auto in years, and sunsets are tricky, with everything changing quickly and ever decreasing  light.  Take lots of shots and make each one different ,vary your exposures,  etc. .Its also nice to have clouds so willing to put on a show. I still don’t know how I got this shot tho

      And Hans, what a stunner featured on the gallery last week (Sunset of Charigny, Nov 15th). WOW!

      You’ve collectively inspired me to roll out of bed a little earlier to catch a little color in the morning sky.

      Nice marmalade set and thanks for your kind words. Ruth, That shot and the one below taken a few minutes apart were made possible with a good zoom telephoto. And what you see is not full frame so I was near the boundaries of  of the tech to provide a still good  shot. I thought I seen a lot of sunsets. This one  the light just lit up the clouds like I never seen before.

I believe it is finally time to come back and begin posting again, as I really did forget how beautiful this community is. Anyways, here’s one of my favorite sunsets as of recently. I took it right after storm chasing in the Midwestern U.S.

      Gregory, one fine sunset.  Storm chasing has to be an exciting sport.

      Michael, #137 is a soothing piece.

      Ruth and Michael, both of your photos look phenomenal. I must say storm chasing is an exciting venture, but I’m definitely not nearly equipped enough for the “big stuff”. That’s ok though, I still enjoy my fair share of cool storms. Speaking of which, here’s one from last spring.

      Arizona Sunset #136 looks like a ghostly Billy, Michael. Love it.

      As I do the last softly colored sunset by Ruth titles Thinking Cranberries and the fiery last one as well.

      Gregory your return here with Golden is marvelous. I see a lonely warrior on a horse riding into a hostile burning distance. Could have been the Lord of the Rings.

      Hans, your interpretation of my image “Golden” appears to be spot on. It looks like you have some of that golden fire for yourself as well.
