Sunset In Big Cottonwood Canyon

Heading down from the mountains after a long hike/trail run I stopped at this spot late in the evening to stretch and eat a peanut butter, banana and raisin sandwich (my hiking staple). As the sun began to set in the canyon, the mountains to the east glowed orange in the reflection of the setting sun.

I sat and watched the colors ebb and flow over the peaks with the passing of the clouds.

And when the colors began to fade in the east, I turned and looked to the west and was greeted by the most spectacular view:

Magic

Sat on the banks of a still frozen Jackson Lake and watched the most spectacular sunset over the Teton Mountains.



I can feel the Viking blood coursing through my veins tonight!



Best campsite yet.

Stuck In a Traffic Jam On the Interstate at Sunset

Did I mention there are tornado warnings in the area and we are at a dead stop?

South, Then Eastward Bound

Traveling due east just after sunset, I had the most amazing view of the equinox full moon as it rose. Incredible. Sorry no pictures. Photos wouldn't have captured the moment anyway. These photos of the sunset in Southern Illinois are a consolation prize.
