Those are beautiful sunset skies. We haven’t had much of those of late. Mostly, the gray kind or snowy kind. It just turns dark instead. Goodnight GGB, an absolute beauty.

Today has been one of best days in weeks. Temps in the mid-50s, partly cloudy skies, and we might have a nice sunset tonight. Last night had a decent sunset, but was too cold to go outside to watch. 🙂

the first photograph is impressive with these trails of clouds, we could think of an “end of the world” or on the contrary … a renewal (cleaner, more beautiful, less difficult for people …)

In that photo there’s just the right amount of information in the lower (buildings) part, I really like that. And the sky is strangely mottled. We’ve been stuck with a lot of rain, and gray but we needed the rain. The mountain snowpack is now above normal, so that’s good. The daily increase in light is very apparent, and I’m grateful for it but I could go for more sun!

Great sunsets. Is winter generally the best time for them there?
I just learned from an article in the Smithsonian magazine that it was John C. Frémont, the explorer and first Republican presidential candidate (right before Lincoln), who gave the Golden Gate its name.

Thanks, Steve. I think the winter sunsets are more vivid with less fog or haze from the heat.
Yes, that’s interesting about the name. Of course in 1846, he was naming the opening to the bay that leads to the ocean.
