Drip, drip, drip








Karl and I walked by the light of this moon. Just like the sunrise, sunset and alpenglow, I never tire of watching the moon and the stars. A still and beautiful night by the light of a waxing half moon.


From the left portion of the above…

…the elusive snowflake..

Karl sat patiently waiting as I fussed with trying to capture snowflakes….

but it became obvious that he thought the entire procedure a bit tiresome…


This is what I see from the window behind my desk as the alpenglow begins its fiery show. It does not happen every evening. A combination of clear skies in the right place to allow the setting sun’s reflecting rays to light sky and mountain tops – a small miracle of the right conditions – creates the glow which ranges from a pale pink to a vivid orangeish magenta. This night (January 14, 2009), I saw the glow through the trees and as on many other nights ran out to see what I could see and capture. For me, it is like sunrise and sunset – I never tire of watching the changing color and light.




Alpenglow…again.
a start at macro…taking the tripod next time, but I can see the possibility.
