Skywatch - Sunrise, Sunset, Swiftly Flow the [Days]
While the day light hours are far too short now, the good thing is that it's easy to catch both the sunrise and the sunset. Such was the case last Saturday on Whidbey Island.
Sunrise is sort of behind the cabin now where it's harder to see from the deck, but I caught some of the color.
The sunset over Useless Bay, behind Double Bluff, showed little promise earlier on, great but not spectacular.
But the colors gradually became more dramatic.
And then the sky lit up and turned the bay to a lake of fire.
Then, just as dramatically, the colors faded as darkness set in.
For more Skywatch Friday photos go here.
