Very OT: Sunrise, Sunset
Hi Everyone!!!!
Well, its only a few days before election day, and I'm hoping to {insert Name of Diety of Choice} that my Florida absentee ballot hasnt been shredded or counted thrice by now.
Anyway, I was lucky enough to have my camera when these lovely events were happening:
Sunrise in Denver, Colorado last Sunday morning:
And Sunset in Sarasota, Florida a few weeks ago:
These shots have not been tweaked or digitally jazzed in any way.
Isn't life beautiful!!!!!!!

As a humble Brit I can only interperet this photo as a Burning Bush............of course this is a totally non political comment unless of course you have a Boiling Blair somewhere in your camera?
Shall I compare thee to a summers day?
No, thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Cheers Will, mines a pint !

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Great sunsets. We don't have much in the way of sunsets where I am now (and can't see the horizon, either, from my house), but when I lived in Marina, near the ocean, they were spectacular. I do miss them.
Still, I'll contribute some mandevilla blossoms up on top of our patio cover with the sun almost behind them, from a couple of days ago.

my daughters Grandma is in Sarasota, she has been there lots of times and feels a real connection....election aside, I will show her the photo and she will love it! The thing she always loves about Sarasota is that she saw Manatees (?) there. Can you post a photo of one for her? I think she wants to 'adopt' one, but we already adopted a dolphin and a donkey!!!!!!

By request . . . manatees:
This is the Gulfport Beach, where manatees swim:
This is what Gulfport looks like, view across the street from the beach where manatees swim:
And, best of all, a manatee-cam and fun Florida wildlife info from Homosassa Springs: www.manateecam.com

Actually, if one candidate in particular wins, we will have even MORE colorful sunsets. This unfortunately is NOT a good thing, since many vivid sunsets are caused by excessive particulat matter in the atmosphere: aka air pollution. Check the environmental records of both men and vote accordingly...emmline wrote:Very pretty. And it will still happen, regardless of the election outcome.

You're right Paul, and I'm planning to vote accordingly...but I hope that in the long run, regardless of the next 4 years, we'll behave more wisely.brewerpaul wrote:Actually, if one candidate in particular wins, we will have even MORE colorful sunsets.

Behave more "Wisley"? I'll bet Dale would agreeemmline wrote:...but I hope that in the long run, regardless of the next 4 years, we'll behave more wisely.
Nice photos, everyone.
Actually, by posting some nice sunset photos, I was kinda saying hey everyone, lets get through election day and still remember to look at the sunsets and smell the flowers (funny and cool that a flower photo was shared!!!) and lets all keep some perspective.
anyone else have some nice nature-ey photos?
