The Sky Is Crying

Palms

For a non-photogenic plant, this palm tree silhouette at sunset called to me. The sharpness of the hanging leaves and the warmth of the setting sun play off each other appealingly. 1/1000 sec at f/8.0, ISO 200, 200mm

Eye of God

Sometimes on a cloudy day, you can give up on the sky spectacle during sunset. Not on this day. Just before dusk, a small are of clouds opened up above the Olympic Peninsula and shone down as a pillar of brilliant night. 1/500 sec at f/5.6, ISO 1000, 200mm

Sunset Over Olympics

Sunsets over the Olympic Mountains are some of the clearest I've ever seen. 1/5000 sec at f/20, ISO 200, 200mm. Nikon D7000 and Nikon 18-200VR.

Olympic Mountains

The cloud patters over the Olympic Mountains were stunning on this day. There was still enough light to capture this 3 photo HDR. f/14, ISO 400, 200mm

Elliot Bay

Sunsets over Elliot Bay can be beautiful. This one is accompanied by the Seattle Times Globe in the foreground! 2.5 sec at f/36, ISO 100, 90mm. Nikon D7000 and Nikon 18-200VR.

Angry Sky

Sometimes you walk outside in the evening and are treated to this. The Coulds were catching the setting sun in such a spectacular fashion that I ran back inside and grabbed my camera. I was able to compose this HDR from 3 shots. f/14, ISO 200, 44mm

Camp Seymour

This is proof that you don't always need a DSLR for great pics! Taken at sunset, the fire in the sky complements the utter still of the estuary. Taken with my point and shoot. 1/20 sec at f/3.5, ISO 200, 4.9mm

Mauna Kea Sunset

I think this will remain the most beautiful sunset I have ever experienced. Taken from the peak of Mauna Kea, this 5 panel panorama from 14,000 feet shows dusk from the top of the world. From left to right, Subaru, Keck I, Keck II, and NASA Infrared telescopes. 1/80 sec at f/16, ISO 500, 35mm

Elliot Bay Sunset

At the end of of a winter day, the cold waters of Elliot Bay are greeted by only a handful of visitors. 1/1000 sec at f/8.0, ISO 100, 200mm

Just because it is a cargo ship, it doesn't mean that it's not interesting...The sun and sky steal the show in this one!

Coast Guard Cutter

Early morning patrol by this Coast Guard Cutter is bathed in early light.

The Cargo or the Sun?

The sky color opens up gradually as the sun rises.

Space Needle Sunset

Sunset over Seattle has so many moods. Used a long exposure to give this ethereal effect.

The View from Alki

The sunset from Alki Beach has a bit of foreground, and magical sky!

ComTrail

During another beautiful sunset, this bright pink comtrail lit up the sky! www.cutyerheartout.com

The sunset over Lake Union Fisheries. Aurora Avenue Bridge and Olympic Mountains...

Majesty

Sometimes you can catch it just in time. Once the sun fully emerged from behind this cloud the light changed for the worse!

Dagverðará

As we neared, the sky color kept changing, with a little spot of blue. It changed the scenery entirely! 1/100s at f/11, ISO 64, 14mm.
