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.
Happy Wednesday.
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.

The rain slowed, the overcast parted for a bit and then there was this bright lake reflection as the evening darkened.

Happy Tuesday.
On the weekend, the wind came up, the sky began to darken and the rain started.
A very welcome arrival.
