Without clouds most sunsets would be pretty dull.

how did you get the water????? Beautiful.
No trick to it. It is the real color and even a decent P&S will capture it. Most of our glacier fed lakes and rivers are that color. It usually is most vivid on overcast days. That is except during breakup when some rivers look the color and consistency of thin concrete.
Thanx

I like the night rainbow,interresting.
Me too, but when I first saw the light I was afraid it was a fire. It was not nighttime but just at sunset. It takes the sun rays coming in at a shallow angle and a little rain for it to happen. We lost our shop to a fire in July so I was a little paranoid.

Okay, Carioca, I'll buy that one about the school bus on the railroad. But what do they do with it once they've got up on the railroad and traveling down the track? I mean... why?

Abilene & Smoky Valley Railroad
This bus has been modified for road and rail use.

Why not? Much cheaper that pulling a passenger car with a locomotive. Most RR's used them during the Hay-Day of railroading. One of my favorites was the "Galloping Goose", a 30`s something short bus. They even had frieght versions. Now days they are used for tourist rides in places cars can't go.

In #2, the tree in the foreground provides a pleasing balance to the image. Without the tree, I don't think it would have been as nice. I think I would have cloned out that piece of pine tree peeking out on the left side.

Can not argue with that. Without the tree, or something like it, I would not have taken the shot. I never like to clone if I can avoid it, but you are probably right in this case. Thank for your interest and advise.

You get 20 hours of sunlight in the summer?

Yes, we get lots of daylight in summer but I don't know about any 3 day parties. I'm sure there are a few but not being a "party person" I don't keep up on that stuff. During that time it never really gets dark. The sun is circling at such a shallow angle that dawn & dusk overlap. Several communities do have Summer Solstice affairs and they can get pretty wild. Not much in the way of 4th of July fireworks though. Few folks would stay up that late to see them. New Years Eve is our big fireworks day. After that Fur Rendezvous and the Iditarod are the big local celebrations in the state.

It was hard to get the truth out of the locals, since no one actually saw how it happened. I can tell you the name of the town, Ocean City, Md.

Electric Blankets are a no-no here. We are off-grid which means the the electric company does not reach us. Overnight we are on battery power so electricity is more or less rationed.

The red sky photo was at dawn. When I first got out of bed I was startled to see that my windows were all glowing red. I was relieved to see when I opened my door that it was only sunrise. So much for "red sky in the morning, sailors warning". The weather was just fine that day.
The sunset photo was the last taken of that dead tree. I hated to see it go.
The last photo is of a "sun dog". At least that is what we call them up here. They are rare and don't last long. It's sort of a rainbow that never got off of the ground. When I first spotted this one in the woods behind our house I thought it was a brush fire starting.

Just wondering, is that little Shay still on display in Vernonia and did they ever complete restoring it?

I think I was there during that flood. That would have been at least 20 years ago, if the same flood. I had to make a delivery to Camp 18 at the time. That was quite a trip.
