Big Sky Sunset - Red Lodge, Montana

By
Education & Training

I recently joined the groups Spectacular Sunsets & Sunrises (started by Kent Simpson on 2/1/2009) and Clouds at ActiveRain (clouds attached) (started by Robert A. Swetz on 9/23/2008).   Feel free to click on the previous links and join these groups.  What better place to share your best photos of sunrises, sunsets and clouds on AR!

The following post is my first contribution to both of these groups.  They are photos of the sunset (clouds attached) taken on June 8, 2008 when I took my dogs out for a walk on the Rodeo grounds in Red Lodge, MT.  You can see Red Lodge Mountain and some of the ski trails on the left hand side of the first photo.  The second photo was taken about 10 minutes after the first one.  I zoomed on the clouds in the sky, just above the trees in the horizon.

Thank you for the positive comments.   I was amazed at the colors myself and I was happy that I was able to capture them in more details in my second photo.

Cheryl,

One of many of Mother Nature's finest creations.   I also like gazing at the stars at night but that would be hard to capture using my camera.

I really like both of these pictures.  However, I could stare at the second one for a long, long time and enjoy every moment.

John,

You are welcome.   Mother Nature provide us with a variety of paintings for the sky at night and in the morning around here.   No two sunsets or sunrises are alike.  It is always a joy to take the time and watch.

Gerry, You captured a pair of gorgeous sunset photos and I especially like the way the sun casts such colorful reflections onto the clouds.  Nicely done!
