Layers of sunset

  

Layers of sunset, from Cotati, 23 August 2026

Red sky at night...

 

 

...sailor's delight.  

 

A saying that certainly held true last night and today! 

 

Sunset from Cotati on 11 July 2026. 

 

Green on the horizon

  

Wasn't sure if we'd see one tonight, but there it was, glowing green on the horizon.  Photographed from Bodega Head on 28 January 2026.  [You can click on the image for a slightly better version of the photo.]

Every one is different

Flashy time of year

 

 

This green flash photo is from last week, but perhaps it'll be a reminder to keep an eye out for green flashes around sunset at this time of year.  (Just don't look at the sun until it's almost entirely below the horizon.)

Sunset watcher

 

 

The sunset was quite something tonight (2 December 2025), and we weren't the only ones watching!

 

Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) perched on top of a CODAR antenna that monitors ocean currents.

 

And here's a close-up of the owl in silhouette against that purple sky:

Seascape at sunset

  

Didn't have a chance to take photos this week, so here's one from January 2025 — seascape at sunset along the Sonoma Coast.

In like a lion?

 

Did you notice this, too?  

The wind really picked up near sunset tonight (1 March 2025).  

Fun to see the clouds racing across the sky...
