Sunset – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

Evening Embers

Clouds from a warm front brought a brief winter respite and glowed in the evening sky like embers in a wood-burning stove. #clouds #evening #embers #sunset

The glowing, red sunset was a delight to see even though it marked the end of our mild autumn weather. Summer skies are giving way to winter-like cloud patterns. In a couple of days temperatures will drop the 30’s after a cold front passes through. No, snow is not in our future but, thankfully, neitherContinue reading “Sunset on Hurricane Season”

Afterglow

After a recent, refreshing rain, the setting sun turned the sky into a glowing gold more precious than any metal that can bought or sold. #rain #sunset #gold #glow

Evening Accent

The autumn light show continues with stripes of the setting sunlight framing the pumpkin decorations on the dining room table. I love this time of year. #sunlight #sunset #table #pumpkins #decorations

Rain Ration

It’s been a dry year; even during the rainy season we have had only one or two days with any measurable precipitation per month.

Clouds and showers alternating with fleeting sunshine dampened the day until sunset. As the sun lowered towards the horizon it set the clouds ablaze in a way that made me think of the glowing lava flows that built this island eons ago. I could not help but wonder that such a hellish beginning could leadContinue reading “Fire in the Sky”

Painted Sky

The setting sun set the sky ablaze with colors to rival the foliage below. Mount Otemanu seemed to wear the clouds like a wreath as if it, like the person below, was captivated by the scene. #sunset #treehouse #otemanu #borabora

Sunset: End and Beginning

The sunset seen through the window of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner foreshadowed the end of a very long day, beginning at 3 AM Eastern Standard Time in Florida and ending about 27 hours later in Pape’ete, French Polynesia. The name of the airliner was appropriate for it carried us over the Pacific to Tahiti asContinue reading “Sunset: End and Beginning”

Tahitian Dreamin’

Sunlight accented memories of trips to Tahiti and its surrounding isles. Though the sunset eventually faded away, the memories never will. #tahiti #frenchpolynesia #sunset #memories #tahitianukulele
