Day is Done

Now that the days are getting shorter, I am often up before the sun.  Unfortunately, I have no view of the sunrise to enjoy with my morning coffee, usually just a gradual brightening as the sun filters through the thick morning fog that coats the river.  

 

So far the subtle play of light through fog is something I am unable to capture on film.

 

The sunsets, however, have been spectacular, and although my photographic skills don't capture their full glory, I occasionally come close.

Although I love the longer days of summer.  The fall sunsets are somehow more vivid and the timing now is perfect.

Providing the perfect counterpoint to the day.

Allowing time to pause and reflect.

    Those photos are so beautiful. Fall light is my favorite light.
    I can picture you enjoying quiet time with your sweetie.
    I miss the cooler temperatures that come with Fall back East. Here in Northern CA we’re in the full swing of Indian summer, and this year it’s also humid :(.

    Oh, beautiful! You will miss that river scene, but at least you’re storing up some stunning photographic records, not to mention the many memories. . .
