An Ordinary Sunset


I am tired of overcast skies and snow, so when I was out on my bike ride today I was thrilled to see a beautiful orange sun low in the sky.  When the sun gets this low in the sky, it has to shine through a lot more atmosphere before reaching us and as a result it is much dimmer, and we can see it as a disk, on the right kinds of days.  Like today.  So it is an ordinary sunset, but it brightens my day to see it.

  1. Beautiful scenery to start the morning with! (Especially with our darker days of December upon us.)
