Our typical weather in winter is clouds and drizzle. When it clears off and we have sunny weather, it’s a special treat. And it can be spectacular.
Happy New Year, Everyone … and may you have many spectacular things to enjoy in the coming year.
I have shown photos of this pond before, but the clouds are always different. This day they were particularly dramatic.
I thought this was a little unusual for a rainbow … lots of the reds and not so much (if any) blues and greens. This is looking directly east with the sun low in the western sky. There was a VERY faint double showing in the left of the sky, but it didn’t show up much in the image. This was taken with my iPhone with it set on wide angle … which created some distortion. I corrected some of that in Lightroom, but it stretched out the tree on the right margin some.
I just couldn’t resist.
The jet contrail added some interest to the sky, in addition to the sunset. There is also a little bit of a solar bar coming up from the sun … at least it looks like one to me. This is the waterfront at Port Townsend, WA.
