1. Gorgeous!

Over what time period? Different seasons?

[George McGovern]

8. Thank You mnhtnbb! Archives go back to March of 2021 to present and are ongoing. All year long.

2. Beautiful photos! They bring up a brain teaser I've often wondered about:

Is it possible to tell the sunrises from the sunsets just by looking at the photos? And if so, how?

[George McGovern]

9. Thank You TheRickles! Only way to tell from our angle here is by the landscape pictured.

Sunrises typically will show a tree line for a horizon. Sunsets show a horizon mostly flat, but
rising just a little bit in places and no trees visible. And even those parameters can be hard to
pin down.

23. Makes sense if you know the setting, but if it's an unfamiliar location, I'm thinking there's really no way to tell.

3. Look forward to a couple of weeks of spectacular sunsets as the ash from the Manitoba wildfire

continues to drift south.

--- that is not a criticism of the photographs, which are spectacular, as usual.

[George McGovern]

10. Thank You 3Hotdogs. No criticism taken. Such sunsets can be spectacular.

Just once, with this photo, have I taken a picture with wildfire smoke and ash in the air.

In August 2022 a sun was setting behind a smoke/ash cloud and I photographed it. Normally I prefer not to take pictures when there is fire smoke and ash in the atmosphere because of the cause of the smoke. Which is unnatural.

This particular incidence was so unusual it was cause for a photo.

7. That last one is just incredible.

It looks like an artist just had a ball putting pink, purple, orange, and yellow on a white canvas - for us to emmensly enjoy.

[George McGovern]

14. I consider sunrise and sunset skies to be the work of Mother Nature's paintbrush. Thanks magicarpet!

15. Magnificent! The second is one of my all-time favorites, as is #6. I don't think I had ever seen

the last one but it is phenomenal. I'm adding that to the list of favorites. The one with the horses is so peaceful - I love it. Thank you!
