Rare Winter Sunset

The weather in the Pacific Northwest is wet during the winter. Low hanging clouds dropping lots of rain. So, even though the sun set much farther south in the horizon, we rarely get to enjoy an impressive sunset. All day Sunday there was a thick fog in the valley below us. As the sun set, I grabbed my camera to capture such a rare beauty. You can see the thick clouds below the tops of the trees.

After a few minutes the color of the sunset drew my eyes away from the tops of the fluffy clouds.

You must come visit the Pacific Northwest. August and September are the best. We can be rainy and chilly in July.

Hugs,
Kelley

I have never visited your part of the country. These pictures are truly beautiful. I live in south eastern Ohio, so ocean views are something we don't see every day. We have wonderful scenery, but this is exceptional. Maybe once I retire, and we are more free to travel, I can experience some of these beautiful vistas.

Thanks for sharing.
