Yday @ Kingscliffe, Qld, Aus.

Absolutely Gorgeous. I really dig the colors golds and deep dark blues. I’m doing a series of paper collages that exact idea of sky, sea and sand.....The colors I’m using now I am going after this image of Pinks and purples and blues.

Wicked gorgeous! That would look awesome in the hospital in Oklahoma I work at. The have quite a few wicked tornado sky landscapes prints in the hallways and waiting room. Lol. It’s so freaking bizarre. Like, do we really need to be reminded daily of the looming doom of tornadoes? But the skys they create are monumental.

NJ sunset. It’s relieving having the sunset behind me for a change.

I remember family holidays in Delaware. I would get up early sometimes and watch the sun fight its way clear of the sea horizon.

Back in my Navy days, when I would pass a weather deck, it would be like, "oh it's day." or "oh it's night". Lots of sunrises and sunsets at sea, but I didn't see many of them.

Have you ever seen the Green Flash @ sunset?

I looked many times; I never saw it.

It happens when the sun is almost entirely below the horizon, with the barest edge of the sun – the upper edge – still visible. For a second or two, that upper rim of the sun will appear green in color.

Everywhere I've lived, the horizon has been too high. From my readings, a long optical path through the lower atmosphere is a necessary ingredient, and that requires the kind of horizon you get at sea (or on a coast) or on a mountaintop.

One of ships I was on in the Caribbean would "Set the green flash watch" when conditions looked good.

I was fortunate enough to have seen it quite a few times.

Other good times were watching the stars & satellites on moonless nights from the flight deck and since we always ran blacked out there was zero light pollution.

That sounds cool. I would like to do that one day. Do you have any pictures?

It's not really common even under the best of conditions (of which I don't remember much) but if you catch a good one it's worth all the duds you waited for.

Local brewery. Had some financial issues last year. Hopefully they're turning it around. But the actual phenomenon is talked about all the time in SD. I've never seen it.

Spent a few days nursing hangovers on Moreton in the 80's. No resorts, just a shed with a windmill and tank. It was beautiful.

Central American jewel beetles. I saw a pic in Smithsonian (?) ages ago, one looked like it had been chromed, silver from head to toe.
