A Northwestern Sunset

When I was 8 we moved to Kodiak, Alaska. The one thing that I remember about Alaska is how beautiful it was. I especially enjoyed the colors in the sky. At times, it never even got dark so we were able to enjoy the sky even longer than most people. =)

It has been a LONG time since I had seen beautiful sunsets like the ones in Alaska.

During our road trip to Washington last week, the sun began to set around 9 pm. It was an amazing sight.

This was the view from our car.

Isn’t it breathtaking?

My favorite part of the image is the way the sun rays just fill the darkening sky with hints of red.

A couple of days later, we were at my nephew’s high school graduation. It was in the evening so we were able to enjoy another sunset.

The sky went from this…

It just puts me at peace.

We do get beautiful sunsets in California, but the colors in the Northwest are just….well, magical.
