Surprisingly Beautiful Sunset Tonight

I thought you might like to see the  sundown over the Hudson tonight just because it came as a surprise package. Just proir to sundown there was rain and thunderstorms going on all over the place.

While watching this through my west window there was lightening flashing my eastern windows.

During this beautiful sunset I was watching a a nightmare. Governor Christie live at the new PBS Lincoln Center studio, was just ten miles south of my window and the exterior shots from the studio was showing people running in the driving rain.  

I loved this view. If you would like to see tonight's sunset from start to finish, there are twenty more photos below.

There was no sunset tonight in New York. Well the sun set but it could not be seen around here. The photo below is 7:59 PM, sundown this time of year. At least the green of the Palisades can be seen for a change.

There was still some views worth recording. I don't know if others will enjoy tonight's view but I really like seeing the cloud formations change at the end of the day.  

Change is good, so my usual start to finish is below the fold.

See the glow on the horizon? That made for a great ending.

Don't worry, there are far better views below the fold.    

Tuesday's Sunset

Today was a very beautiful day in New York City. After a late night I never got out of the apartment and spent the day enjoying beautiful cloud formations and a strong cold breeze. The sky cleared in the late afternoon but the clouds came back for sunset.

The view tonight seemed like a few sunsets, so there are many photos below the fold. I hope you enjoy the show.

Earth Day Sunrise and Sunset

I wonder how you feel on this Earth Day. I wonder what you are doing to make everyday Earth Day. I woke up this morning, insignificant speck that I am in a corporate world and considered my own actions.

I watched the sunrise and remembered this day forty years ago with the words I heard this week about Ronald Reagan ringing in my ears "We've lost thirty years."

Because of watching Earth Days on PBS I remembered that on that first Earth Day I went downtown to see a closed Fifth Ave. That Mayor Lindsay closed the street to honor Earth Day and everyone saw a bright a shining future ahead.

It looked like continuity would be broken tonight after another perfect day. Not by clouds but the lack of them. A too bright sun can feel good but it is too bright for both eyes and cameras. But the clearing came and went, leaving a few to show.

Along with my usual sunset nonsense, I've got another lucky eleven below.

Tonight's Sunset Open Thread

by: Eddie C

Tue Apr 06, 2010 at 22:26:56 PM EDT

Tonight's was a very pleasing sunset. I posted last night's sunset here and today was the opposite of yesterday's. Yesterday was clear and sunny all day with just enough clouds rolling in to add a little mood to sundown. Today was milky and dull until the very late afternoon and the sky cleared as the sun went down.

I get a little excited when the sun is bright but not to bright for digital photos. It is also coming to the time of year that the sunsets directly into my window. That is when the reflections on the water are most dramatic.

So if you can use a soothing visual, then below the fold is how the sun setting over the Hudson in the Bronx looked tonight.
