As a pilot I have often seen the blue hour effect, something I’ve enjoyed experiencing over the years.
It happens when the sun is well below the horizon but its blue wavelengths are still visible.
In these shots there is some amplification from the cloud cover, but I like the effect. The interplay between light and dark is one of the amazing sights our spectacular natural world has to offer.
I love that even though we’re into October, the beaches are still somewhat busy with family and friend barbecues, and now that we have had rain, it’s also okay for a beachy fire pit, too.
I hope we’re settling in for a lovely long October.

Recently, we had some continuously windy and rainy weather for about five days, although each evening the wind died away and the atmosphere relaxed into night.
The rain was generally persistent throughout the evening and night periods but sometimes there were clear breaks as well. This picture is of one of those clear breaks. The lake was like a mill pond while there was some mist in the distance and the lights began to be visible.
