Tag Archives: Milky Way

Warm, sunny days morph into star-spangled nights on the beautiful Mendonoma Coast. Craig Tooley was at Green Cove on The Sea Ranch Friday night and he photographed this gorgeous sight - the Milky Way.

You can see a meteor to the right of the galaxy, and the afterglow of Friday night's sunset - just lovely! Thanks to Craig for allowing me to share his photo with you here. To see much more of Craig's nature photography, here is his website: http://www.ruffimage.com

It's a little cooler today, thank goodness. It's sunny and clear, and the fog is still AWOL.

Don Chigazola captured this beautiful sight - Shell Beach, which is on The Sea Ranch, and the Milky Way.

A beautiful work of art!

Thanks to Don for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

The smoke is much less today. We're looking forward to a nice westerly breeze to disperse the smoke.

Paul Kozal was out late at night making magic with his photography. You can see a meteor on the right, the iconic Lighthouse we all love, and the Milky Way splashed across the night sky. So lovely.

It's pretty darn warm at our place today. We melt when the temps get near 90 degrees. It was that hot yesterday but today has a cooling breeze. Come on, breeze! oh, we had quite a lightning show early this morning. I hope to show you some photos of that event soon.

On July 13th,  Paul Thompson photographed the lovely sight of Saturn glowing a golden color next to the larger Jupiter, with the Milky Way splashed across the sky.

Paul wrote, “Two planets from our solar system can be seen, the brightest is Jupiter, and Saturn a bit to the left. We also see the distinctive shape of the Milky Way, actually our own galaxy viewed from the middle outward. This photo was taken down-coast from the North end of Sea Ranch, the yellow glow is from Santa Rosa street lights.”

The Mendonoma Coast is known for its lack of light pollution, giving photographed and star gazers a chance to see such a beautiful sight.

Another foggy day on the immediate coast, pulling back in the mid-afternoon. Must be summer!

Paul Kozal is an amazing photographer. He enjoys photographing the night sky and recently took this photo of the Milky Way, shining bright over Black Point Beach on The Sea Ranch.

The flowers in the foreground are non-native ice plant. They are quite beautiful in bloom in the spring and summer.

Sunny and warm today, with breezes to keep it from being too warm!

Spring doesn't know...
