Another winter sunset, this time on Tuesday evening, January 13. Actually, the sky was even more spectacular a few minutes earlier--pink, salmon and mauve against shades of gray--but I didn't get the camera until the light was more faded. Nevertheless, it was still impressive even then. The image below includes the silhouette of a sweetgum tree (Liquidambar styraciflua) that's still holding its fruits--and shedding them sporadically with each windstorm.
I earned an advanced degree in ecology and held a professional position related to forest ecosystem restoration. I retired from my position in 2018 and moved from the Mid-Atlantic to the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.
