12/03/09 Autumn Sunsets & The Moon: Part II

Spectacular fall sunset in the western horizon

Here are a few more photos I took about a week ago in the local-area. High-level cirrus along the western horizon provided a great photo opportunity on this evening. I also added a few more moon pics over the last few weeks as the moon transitioned to the full moon last night. A few photos are below:

The moon at twilight...

Streaking cirrus at sunset

Pretty darn close to a "full moon"

The sun nearly parallel to the horizon

Sun now below the horizon giving the landscape a "glowing effect"

More cirrus with a wide-assortment of colors

The moon yet again (Canon 70-300mm telephoto lens)

I'll be adding a Christmas holiday post over the next couple weeks as well and on another note the next two weeks look fairly active with several opportunities for measurable snow and even a significant event (winter storm). Stay tuned...
