This is another photo that I ran across in my archive that I thought was of interest. I don’t remember the specific weather that was before or after this sunset. To me, it looks like it unstable air when there is a transition to or from stormy weather. Pleasant clouds, even if the weather wasn’t.
I was going through the photo library and seeing what I had not uploaded to the blog. I found this one of a sunset back in 2018. I don’t remember the sunset … there were so many. I can’t really say how closely this reflects the ‘actual colors’… but there wasn’t any adjustments to vibrance or saturation.
That brings up the endless question of: are the colors that I see the same as the colors you see?
Taken from Marrowstone Island, southeast of Port Townsend. The fog bank is hiding Whidbey Island. The water is the Admiralty Inlet area of Puget Sound. Mt Baker is catching the light of the sunset.
Capitol Lake is a man-made lake in Olympia, Washington, designed to reflect the state capitol building on the hillside to the left of this image. I used to frequently walk around the lake and watch nature and people. I was always amazed at the number of people that would be walking and totally oblivious to the incredible skies and cloudscapes.
These are more shots from when I lived in Olympia and had an apartment with a west facing deck.
