52 Photo Challenge: Week 47-Sunrise/Sunset

“Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.”
—John Muir

This week’s assignment for the 52 photo challenge was to take photos of the sunrise/sunset. This aligned perfectly with a very rare week of double travel for me. Not only did I visit Tahoe for a few days, but it was swiftly followed by a quick trip to Dillion Beach. I feel so lucky!

Both trips provided such incredible views to photograph. My selection of images includes both locations at sunrise and sunset. Let me know if you have a favorite and have a wonderful week.

    • What I love about sunrises and sunsets is how different they can be. That header photo is one of my favorite too because I left the houses in my view. It reminds me of where I was and is closer to what it really looked like. Thank you.

      • My friend George has a place on Bogue Sound, part of the intracoastal waterway passing by NC. He says the same thing you do, and photographs the rising and setting every day he’s there. 90% of my sunset/rise photos are from when I visit.

  24. Thank you for sharing wonderful pictures and a part of your world!!.. a tranquil time to reconnect with oneself and contemplate the future… 🙂
    Reminds me of the phrase; “red sky in the morning, shepherds warning, red sky at night, shepherds delight”.. 🙂

    Hope all is well in your part of the universe and until we meet again….
    May flowers always line your path
    and sunshine light your way,
    May songbirds serenade your
    every step along the way,
    May a rainbow run beside you
    in a sky that’s always blue,
    And may happiness fill your heart
    each day your whole life through.
    May the sun shine all day long
    Everything go right, nothing go wrong
    May those you love bring love back to you
    And may all the wishes you wish come true
    (Irish Saying)

    • I’m so glad you liked those the best. It’s such a blessing to witness the sunrise and the sunset over water. I’m waking early tomorrow to do another shooting at the lake near me. I can’t get enough.
