      The clouds lifted tonight to see a sunset....

        Caught a nice sunrise over Eastern New Mexico this AM. Snow is finally gone around mountain roads.

          I was hoping for a better vantage point but I missed it by a few minutes, I think. Anyway, this is about a mile from my house.

            Just trying Flickr out. Missed the true glory of this sunset by a minute also.

                Why is it so hard to capture the beauty of a sunset in a picture? Sure wish I could paint.



                Taken seconds later to the East. Sandia mountains in back and volcanoes in the fore ground. Stunning colors in the sky tonight.

                  Because cameras.... try setting the phone or camera on flash on (if it's not already) insted of auto. It will then provide some fill lighting on the bike. In auto it "sees" the brightness of the sky and turns off the flash.

                  Still nice shots regardless.

                      The early morning in summer is a great time to ride. Morning mist, less traffic, an occasional deer to avoid,....and the rising sun. Here are my pics from bright and early this morning. Sun casting it's light on an old graveyard in the woods and my classic bike...and older picture taker!




                      This stone from 1857. There are older ones but time has worn them away and made them unreadable. So much for $$ spent on posterity.



                      Another stop by the water.



                      A closer look.

                        Had a 5 hour ride last evening.
                        Stopped in Muskegon.
                        Sky had been great, but sun going behind clouds on the horizon by the time I got down there to the beach.




                        Then sun shown thru for just a minute.
                        Harley rider that also stopped offered to take my picture.



                        (hum.... am not finding the imgur controls for photo link size. Have seen that before, not finding it now, sorry.)

                            Nice scene. Looks like you saw the low sun thru the tress and then found a scenic place for the picture (rather than, say, at a gas station).

                            Sunrize is too early for me (6am), on a day off, this time of year, maybe in fall will be okay.

                              Another great pic, Glen. It's been hotter than an ifrit's balls here, so the bike's been garaged. I think tomorrow or Monday I will get out on it super early to get breakfast.

                                Thanks.
                                No kidding about early. The dog woke up around a quarter to six. By the time I took care of him and got out the sun was already well above the horizon.
