Sunset 4

A generic sunset!

Everyone loves a generic sunset over a generic lake!

(This is actually Echo Lake, which I suppose is a very specific lake.)

Duck X-ing

X marks the spot! So do the ducks, I guess.

Ducks! At Echo Lake in Mountainside. This is the east end of the lake.

Google Maps: Echo Lake

I specify this because Echo Lake is a very long, narrow lake, and it matters.

Flaming hills!

The hills are aflame!

As far as I can tell, this nifty light effect was caused by the setting sun casting a shadow from the Second Watchung Mountain onto the First Watchung Mountain.

(On the map, the photo location is indicated [approximately] by a little pin-marker-thing.)

The red is entirely from the sun, not leaves. Believe me, this time of year? No colors anywhere.

Bonus fact: This is Seeley’s Pond.

Sunset 3

Day is done, gone the sun...

I dunno, sometimes sunsets are pretty, so I try to capture them and take them home with me. I didn’t have a clear view of this one, but I could tell it was a good one.

Photo of the year 2011!

Sunrise!

Thanks for helping me choose NPDP’s 2011 photo of the year! You rock!

“Sunrise” was originally posted February 18, 2011, after the existing snowcover got a fresh coating of ice.

This is actually a City Daily Photo theme day. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants!

Sunset 2

Great Swamp Sunset

Sometimes sunsets are breathtaking, and sometimes they’re just pretty, and sometimes you miss them entirely.

But most of the time, it’s good practice to watch them anyway, if you can.

Sunrise 4

I ran outside in my cream facial mask to take this photo. I AM THAT DEDICATED.

As I’ve said: I’m a fan of sunrises.

Tangent: I did virtually no post-processing on this photo (aside from nudging the black point up a teeny smidgen).

I like pretty sunrises!

I love a good sunrise.

Sunrise 2!

Sunrise! From my window.

Sunrises are pretty! They make waking up at the @$$-crack of dawn a lot more fun.

Horizontal orientation, just for fun!

They’re so pretty, in fact, that I can’t post just one orientation. I mean come on.

Sunset

Pretty colors!

I’m a sucker for sunsets. I haven’t seen that many good ones since I’ve lived here, unfortunately; there are usually a mess of trees and houses in the way. (But I’ve seen loads of lovely sunRISES! I just usually don’t have my camera with me on the morning commute.)

But anyway: in case you doubted it, here is proof that New Providence does indeed have pretty sunsets sometimes.
