Don Spear photographed this beautiful sunrise here on the Mendonoma Coast.
It almost looks like a scene from Close Encounters of the Third Kind!
Thanks to Don for allowing me to share this photo with you here.
Two mornings in a row the sunrise was spectacular. I've already shared Carolyn André's series of photos of November 16th. Here are several more. Robert Scarola took this photo on November 16th of the sunrise in the east.
Paul Brewer took this photo the same morning from a different perspective.
And finally Richard Hansen captured this lovely sunrise the next day showing Castle Rock. For a few minutes the Pacific Ocean looked purple.
Thanks to Robert, Paul and Richard for allowing me to share these visions of loveliness. To see much more of Paul's nature photography, here is his website: http://www.capturingnatureswonders.com/
And the hits just keep on coming - one beautiful sunrise followed by a spectacular sunset. Paul Brewer was out photographing them. Here is the sunrise of Nov. 4th. And here is the sunset the night before, taken from the Gualala Bluff Trail with the sunset reflected in the Gualala River.
The Gualala Bluff Trail is a perfect place to watch the sunset. There are two public access points. The first is just to the south of the Breakers Inn and the second is the driveway/entrance to the Surf Motel. Thanks to Paul for allowing me to share these visions of loveliness.

I was astonished at this morning's sunrise. The sky was tinted in mauves and pinks, and the Pacific Ocean appeared purple. I needed to change the lens on my camera to get a photo, but by the time I did so the unusual colors were gone. Not to fear - Richard Hansen to the rescue.
Isn't it beautiful? Sunrises like this special one are gifts for waking up early!
