Speechless Sunday - Absarokee Sunset on Christmas Day

Speechless Sunday - Absarokee Sunset on Christmas Day

I can not imagine getting tired of taking photos of sunrise and sunsets.

Here are a couple of photos taken at dawn using my digital camera's zoom lense from the backyard of my friends' house in Absarokee, Montana (Absarokee is about 30 miles from Red Lodge).

I thought the two horses seen above complemented very well this peaceful scenery.

Here is the sunset photo taken in Absarokee, Montana.

Gerry, Classic beauties - Both those photos!  I didn't realize that you were that close to Jellystone National Park:-)  Lucky you!

Myrl,

I took my dad, my brother and my nieces there earlier this year (when they visited Montana) and they all loved it!    My brother who normally does not take too many photos was amazed at the number of photos he took at the Park (the most ever in one day!).

Wow....when can I go?  I love the north.  I love winters.  Just so awesome, quiet and romantic!

Hi Gerry - A very nice Christmas Eve sunset.  Santa was probably too busy to see it at that time but now he can see it while he recovers from his extremely busy day.

What does your brother think is a large number of photos?

Gerry,

The horses in the sunrise photo give it a sense of timeliness.  Beautiful!

Marc,

Santa could see this one after he delivered all the toys the night before.  I think you go confused with the sister post.  This sunset was on the night of Christmas (the sister post was the one featuring the Christmas Eve sunset).   

Any time my brother takes over 10 photos in one day would be considered a lot of pictures.  When we went to Yellowstone National Park, I am estimating he took close to 300 photos in one single day!

Mike,

Thank you.  You described it well.  That is exactly the feeling I had when I saw the horses and thought it would be great to include them.

Gerry,

I loved both pictures, especially the sunset.  Reminds me why I love winter scenes... it's the quiet serenity.

Mike,

We all need to be exposed to some quiet serenity from time ot time and my friends home setting offers just that.   Thank you for your positive feedback.

Gerry,

Sunsets are fascinating and captivating. I like these shots. Not a lot of color but such drama. :)

Steve,

Some time it is the colors and some other time it is less the colors and more the attention to some details that seems to capture the attention.  :)

Those are very nice photos.  I am a desert rat and can't imagine being there in the winter.  :-)

Doreen,

Thank you.   One can always put on more clothes when necessary if it gets cold.  :)   But I understand that not every likes it with lots of snow in winter.

Russel,

I can assure you that no animal was hut in the taking of the photo.   I have not encountered any moose in Absarokee so far.  Just mainly deer, sheep, cows and horses!
