Quartzsite Sunset

The days around this photo op were marred by a lot of clouds in Quartzsite. However, the clouds helped make the sunsets and sunrises quite spectacular. Here are some crepuscular rays, the mountains near Quartzsite, and the clouds lit up. Taken with the Panasonic GX85 and processed with GIMP.

Sunset Through Tree, South Africa

We stayed out during our safari, until it got dark (more animals around then). While waiting for the sunset, I got this shot through a tree. In my mind, this is a "typical" view of the African veldt. Image processed with GIMP.

Green Flash During 2016 Pacific Ocean Cruise

We've had the pleasure of seeing a number of "green flash" events, including my wife having seen a "green flash sunrise". Most of the time, we were unable to photograph these events. In this case, we were crossing the North Pacific in October 2016, and had our cameras ready. For the Sunday Challenge, I figure that there is a LOT of fluid in the photo, primarily the Pacific Ocean.

Lanai Sunset

We lived on Maui for 10 years. During that time, we lived in a house facing east. So we saw (and photographed) a lot of sunrises, some of them other-worldly. However, we rarely saw any sunsets on Maui. Many visitors to the island rave about the magnificent views they get on the west side of the island. Well, we DID get a few sunset photos, primarily while visiting friends on the other side. This is a sunset over the island of Lana'i. Some sunrise photos at: swansonphotos.com/picture_gallery.html
