I’ve always had an obsession with the sky - whether it be clouds, the moon, the sun, the stars - it has just always been my nature to look up. This was one night where the clouds and the moon were in perfect alignment, just a mottled mosaic of light and dark, a subtle murkiness spell cast by Nyx to hide Diana’s secret.
Creamsicle Sunset
This was one of my early shift days at work, but I had to stop and check my garden to make sure everything was fine. I looked out at the lake and saw the most incredible colors, and it wasn’t until I got the full unobstructed view that this particular shot would be one of my favorites of all time. I also love that in the middle portion of the picture to the far left you can see a house with the lights just coming on to seize a brand new day.
Sky Vapors
“Sky Vapors” has its origins one Friday dawn as I was stepping out on the back porch to have my coffee before my Uber arrived to take me to work. There was a peculiar light reflecting on the lake behind the house, and as I came outside I realized it was the leftover sky vapors from the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch that had occurred just a few minutes ago.
Moonrise in Tampa
“Moonrise” was taken from the back porch of my new home two days after I had moved in. The morning sunrise views are spectacular, but watching the moon rise over the lake at night was something else entirely - otherworldly, for lack of a better word.
Pastel Sunset
Working in the Battery Park section of lower Manhattan gave me the opportunity to see a variety of gorgeous sunsets, including this one above the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian and the Bowling Green subway station.
Far and Away
May 9, 2018 It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect weather. I have always loved watching the sky, whether watching clouds barrel across the void while on the ground the air was still as can be, gazing at the Milky Way and constellations as I was growing up in rural Michigan, or just watching the sunset with a glass of wine on my day off. So much to see up there, so much beauty, if only we take the time out of our busy days and lives to appreciate it. Blue is also my favourite colour, so the parceling of the clouds from whisps to clumps only added to that day
Oakland Sunset
I was on vacation visiting the San Jose, San Francisco and Oakland area for my birthday back on January 12, 2012. It was a fantastic trip - my host cooked a delicious dinner every night and he showed me some of the most incredible sunsets I have ever seen. Alas we were not meant to be, but the memories of his good company, food and the sunsets have definitely lingered. There is just something about taking the time out of a hectic day to watch the sky’s palette of colors change in such a dramatic fashion. For me it cleanses my mind, brings about a sense of peace and reflection and leaves me feeling better, regardless of my mood. Not to mention that each and every sunset is different, as well as uhm, free? Check one out sometime, you won[‘t be disappointed!
