On Jan. 28th, Drew Fagan photographed this sunset from his art studio north of Gualala.
The night before he captured this sunset over Sail Rock.
Each are lovely in their own way. Thanks to Drew for allowing me to share the beauty he sees from his place. To see Drew's art, here's the link: drewfagan.com
And Robert Scarola captured it with his camera.
A bit of loveliness for you today. Thanks to Robert for allowing me to share his photo with you here.
On Jan. 19th Bettye Winters photographed the sunset from Irish Beach. Yes, there was a green flash. Bettye's photographs show you what to look for when hoping for a green flash.
The horizon is clear and the sun appears to separate.
When you see this separation you know you will see a green flash.
It's small but it's there. The tiny green dot. Thanks to Bettye for allowing me to share her photos with you here. To see a close up view of the green flash, here's the link: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2012/02/07/the-green-flash-was-photographed-by-richard-kuehn/
The past several nights the sunsets on the Mendonoma Coast have been exquisite. Here are three different nights.
I love it when the sun shines like a spotlight through the clouds. It reminds me of the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
One of the secrets of the Mendonoma Coast is the beautiful weather we usually have in between storms. Inland may be covered in dense fog while we bask in sunshine. Storms bring - or leave - magnificent sunsets. Allen Vinson photographed Thursday's sunset, which was sandwiched in between two storms.
Rick and I always try to watch the sunset. If the horizon is clear there is a chance for a green flash. It doesn't happen often but when it does it is thrilling. To see a photo of a green flash taken here on the Coast by Allen, here is the link: http://www.mendonomasightings.com/2012/10/04/sundays-green-flash-as-photographed-by-allen-vinson/
My thanks to Allen for allowing me to share his beautiful sunset photo with you here.
