PHOTO GALLERY: Sunrises & Sunsets

So I'm like Monet painting the cathedral in Rouen. Well not really but I can't stop taking photos of the mountains across Katchemak Bay at different times of the day. I can't wait to see it through all the seasons as well. Rather than making a million posts about each one, I plan to have a page dedicated to sunrise and sunset photos. Now I just have to sort through them all. I will have to fudge a few dates and times in September and early October, but now I'm on top of it.

Mid-October sunset. The mountains were completely covered in fog in the late afternoon, but as the sun started to set just before 7pm the fog began rapidly lifting from the top of the mountains first and revealed amazing colors behind. The kids and I jumped in the car and drove to the beach to capture better photos. These are in no particular order and were all taken from the same beach just different angles.

Because the tidal range here is enormous (2nd largest in world). Low tide makes for wonderful tidepools and wide open beaches.

Sunrise November 13, 2012 (8:45am)

The short days are closing in fast. Day light savings was last week and already sunrise is working it's way back to 9am.

The sky was burning red after dropping Kate off at school. I drove home snapped a picture from our deck...

but the red was fading fast. By the time I got to the beach the colors were more subdued, but still beautiful. These were taken with an iPhone.

These two need to be put together to make a panoramic photo.
