winter light

One of the things I love most about living in the PacNorWest is the light.  In the summer, dusk lingers forever and is a photographer's dream.  In the winter, the sun sometimes peeks below the clouds and gives off some super-vibrant colors.

This past week was spectacular, starting with that great afternoon glow on Mt. Rainier seen in the previous blogpost.  The following pics are just some I snapped while out and about.

Sunrise on another house on our block

Dusk outside my building on campus

This happens a lot around here - the sun will dip below the dark clouds and light everything up

Wow, what a sunset!
