Sunrise, Sunset
Mr. Sunrise
Several weeks ago, the CBS Sunday Morning show featured a photographer, affectionately known as Mr. Sunrise, who had taken daily photos over a number of years of sunrises over Lake Superior. The photos captured the many "moods" of the Lake and its shorelines featuring many beautiful shots.
It prompted us to look back at some of the sunrise and sunset photos we have collected in Sunlight Valley. The first was taken last month when we were greeted by a dramatic sunrise.
A Winter Event
Several years ago we were graced by much the same astonishing light display. It was again a winter event, which we believe provides the perfect combination of dramatic cloud formations and temperatures to capture and amplify the morning light.
Smoke & Fire
On rare occasions, fortunately, the amazing colors and cloud formations come from less welcome forces. These two photos were taken over the span of 15 or 20 minutes as a sunset developed high in the Northern Absaroka Mountains with the 1988 Yellowstone forest fires burning out of control 50 miles to the west.
Summer Rain
Sometimes a quick summer storm moving down the Valley combines with a sunset to provide another, more peaceful light show.
