Friday Rainbow

Friday, January 27th, 2012

My regular readers will be aware of my fascination of atmospheric effects, particularly as the sun disappears over the western horizon, but this afternoon, we were treated to some excitement on the eastern horizon, in the form of a double rainbow. I figure it’s Nature’s way of giving us something to smile about before dumping [...]

Sunset Flock

Monday, January 9th, 2012

During the months when the northern hemisphere of our pale blue dot on which I reside is leaning away from our stellar space heater, the light from our star enters my office window at sunset and distracts me from my work, causing me to get up and go to the window to shut the blinds. [...]

Sunset Street Lights

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

When I took that glorious evening walk last week, my photographic attentions were drawn particularly to the street lights that had just come on, and how their artificial light contrasted with the natural light still in the sky. So I set aside the photographs of street lights for this separate post. The whole experience of [...]

Colindres High Tide Sunset

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011

Este post es bilingüe para mis fans locales… Mirad después del inglés. I’m doing this post in Spanish, too, for my local fans. So bear with me. On Saturday, when I awoke from my nap, the missus instructed me to make a paté sandwich for my daughter’s afternoon snack, and go down to the town [...]

Ominous Sunset

Sunday, October 30th, 2011

Last Wednesday, we had a particularly ominous looking sunset, with the horizon lit by the sun, yet dark stormy clouds overhead. The contrast was too much to bear, so I took a few too many photographs. I never quite got the exact shot that I wanted with the sun, already over the horizon, illuminating the [...]

Sunset at the Docks

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

For more months than I’d like to admit, my DSLR’s CCD sensor has been dirty. There were just a few specks of dust, but I had to digitally retouch almost every single photo to remove the digital noise they caused. A couple weeks ago, I decided enough was enough, so I took my lens cloth [...]

Extremadura Stroll

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

When we go on summer vacations in Extremadura, as we do most Augusts, the weather is usually too hot to do much besides drink and sleep during the day, but at dusk, it’s just the right temperature for a nice stroll through the countryside. Just after sunset, the stars come out with a light-pollution-free brilliance [...]

Ballybunion Cashen Course Sunset

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

This past June, I traveled to Ireland to play golf with some friends. I briefly mentioned, in a post about playing Ballybunion Old, that my good friends, Jacob and Jeff, took a walk one evening (while I was in bed shivering with a fever) on the Cashen Course at Ballybunion. I said that I’d post [...]
