At My Window
‘
How grand! Another magnificent dawn! This makes two in as many days. In years past, I had come to expect such elaborate displays in frigid December, not in mild October.
Why so early this year? Mere chance, or climate change? Or did I miss them previously behind the now departed Box Elder?
Yesterday, I held the camera by hand, always risky, but did manage to get several, good, sharp images. This time, I wasn’t taking any chances. I mounted the camera on a tripod, and used the remote release, avoiding any possibility of camera shake. I shot forty frames in as many minutes — but, as so often happens, the first was the best. With each passing minute, the sky lightened and the soft, ephemeral colors became less intense.

Thank you for including me, Ron. I too see our weather changing, the cooler and darker mornings and miss the light as I start now covered in dark and soon the jackets and turtlenecks and gloves. My best,

I’m glad someone gets up this early to snap these wonderful photos!
