The pictures are nice in small size and then when I opened them up, WOW, they’re gorgeous.

There must be something about that specific location. The last time I spent the night in that area there was also a very pretty sunset.

Terry, that is the best way to begin a hike… Right there at the Trailhead. What incredible photos!

Interesting, isn’t it what you see when you are outdoors. There are always gifts like these from nature.

The first is my favorite. All of them certainly give a new slant to the old photographer’s phrase, “the golden hour”. Looking at that third photo, I’m curious. Have you every experienced something called a “false horizon”, where the setting sun, coming down to a ridge or a peak, increases in size exponentially, just as the sun or moon will when they’re rising or setting and appear larger? I’ve only experienced it once, out in West Texas with the Davis mountains to my west. It was an amazing, terrifying and dangerous experience. I was driving at the time, and the entire road and landscape turned into a blaze of setting sun. There was nowhere I could look to get away from it. I know I wasn’t crazy, because there was a passenger who had precisely the same experience. Very strange.

Yes, I saw that one evening while driving through the four corners area from Denver on the way to Phoenix. For a period of time it seemed that all I could see was a big ball of sun. I’m forming the opinion that a person should never spend any time at all indoors.

I have experienced color like that in that same location before. I wonder if perhaps the altitude has a lot to do with it. The photos were taken from about 4500 feet and I suspect the horizon was considerably lower.

Wow, that’s gorgeous! What stunning colours. Camping there must be a wonderful experience. The time of your sunset shows that you’re further south than us – there is still blue sky here after 10 pm now.

You got me thinking, Jo. Turns out I didn’t have the camera time set for daylight. The time was actually 9:30. Still though by 10 here it’s getting pretty dark.

From that vantage point, the horizon is probably 70 miles away, maybe more, and I think that’s partly why there are such colorful sunsets seen from there.

It was certainly different than the last time I was there just two months ago. In April there was four feet of snow on that pass.
