SUNRISE / SUNSET

Unbeknownst to me, it seems that I've taken an awful lot of photographs that have either a sunrise or a sunset as a major theme. Here, I've tried to gather them up and have stuffed them into one gallery. Most of these shots were borrowed, or shared, from other galleries in our collection. Some I put in just here. These were all taken with a variety of cameras, such as, a Sony MVC FD-75, Sony MVC FD-90, Sony DCS F-707, Hewlett Packard M307, Hewlett Packard R967, and a Nikon D40. To view the picture in its full size, just click on the thumbnail and the original should pop right up.

I love this place. The amount of wonderful shots you can harvest is virtually endless. I have another shot of this doghouse later in the collection.

It's always been somewhat comforting for me when the mountains or the hills finally give way to the familiarity of the plains. It lets me know I'm home.

This was the second shot of this doghouse I'd taken that evening. Love this shot. Notice the moon sliver in the sky.

Before this trip, I'd never been to a beach where the temperature was less than eighty degrees. Actually the cold makes it so much more peaceful.

I got in a lot of trouble for taking this picture. I was running a preschool for the local school district & climbed out onto the roof to shoot the river. Once the powers that be discovered this, I was repremanded for being on the roof & not authorized to be on said roof. I never was one for following directions.

Magnificent. That's the only word I can think of to describe this sunset. What a wonderful place, the farm is. In the city, you have shopping centers, asphalt, traffic lights & hords of people. I'll take this any day of the week.
