Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Here’s a stretch of trail we walked last week at Fort Flagler. It’s a beautiful place to walk.
We also spent time on the beach and thought we’d take in the sunset. But it looked like the sun was going to get buried in dark clouds. So we headed back to camp. Bad call! Check back tomorrow for part 2 of the Evolution of Sunset.
Nice view to end the day.
I followed this one for a while, until it ended right at my house.
I’m still searching for the pot of gold. I know it’s around here somewhere…
The clouds before sunset last night were pretty spectacular. I may not have caught them all here but there were cirrus, altocumulus, and cumulus clouds stretching across the entire horizon. Lest you think I actually know this stuff, I consulted a book on clouds and storms, which describes a scene like this as “mixed skies.” They’re caused by a mixture of wind speed and direction, temperature, and moisture content at various layers in the sky.
The blue sky was s-o-o-o welcome…and then, way, way off in the distance was the moon, creeping toward fullness, almost like an ornament hung in the curve of a branch.
This was sunset on Monday.
We can’t complain about winter here. Throw in a sunset like this and who can complain about anything?
I may get caught in the rain but breaks like this make the walk worth the risk.
