November Sunset








So many pictures, so little room. I'm purging again and will post some of those I like. I thought these were interesting with the dark clouds and sunset combination. 

Yesterday, we went to Bakersfield, where the smog was horrible, for a medical checkup for me and an oil change and tire rotation for the Jeep. All went well, I took some pictures of the dry landscape, but they didn't come out. Saw two dead coyotes along the highway, hit by cars. And poor cattle trying to make do with what's left to eat in the yellow fields. At least they have large spaces to roam. The landscape has a strange beauty though, yellow, brown, dun colored and dry.  So very dry......

  5. So very dry, indeed. Wildfires in January? That is new to California. Pray for rain!
    Lovely stark contrast in your photos.

  6. This makes me feel sad. We have an abundance of snow and rain here in East canada and I would gladly share half.
    We have a dairy farm and I know that cattle can drink a huge amount daily.
    I have a blogger friend in Bakersfiled and they are suffering too. It must be draining to have so much heat and no rain.
    My heart goes out to all those affected by the drought.
    Hugs,

  7. We heard this was the dryest winter in California of the past 100 years. Do you take precautions against fire in the winter or is it necessary?

    That lovely sunset looks like an image of fire on the horizon. Good catch, Inger! Funny how clouds can lift our spirits when we observe them.

  9. Wonderful pictures -- I especially like the close up of the pine (?) and how some of the needles are pink-tinged with the sunset.

    And I do hope you all get some rain...or snow. Moisture...

  14. When the TV has broadcast pictures of the fire near LA, I've thought of you and your comments about how dry your area is. I hope you get some moisture.
    I agree with you... the colors of the desert in winter have their own sort of beauty.

  15. I sure hope you all get some rain soon. Have been hearing how dry and dangerous it is.
    The photo does remind me of the TV shots of the fires. Eerily beautiful.

  16. The photos (first one in particular) made me feel like I had been there and experienced it. Thank you.

  17. What a good idea to go back through old photos and share them now! I love the color combinations! Do you think any of the air pollution might have been from the Glendora fire? All that smoke has to go somewhere. :-)
