Resurrection Peaks, Chugach National Forest, near Seward, Alaska.
This was from last night at sunset. It is probably more accurate to say, yesterday afternoon at sunset – this was a little after 3:00.

Beautiful Ron. Sorry to hear of the early sunset but then again you get it good in the summer. Simply spectacular.
Love the lighting on this. Does the sun really set that early? I’d love to experience that some time.
Beautiful shot. Look at the bright side of those early sunsets (ours are about 4pm) – they are easy to catch and you still can be home for supper!
Thanks!
Yeah, it does make it easy! Our official sunset time is 3:56, but mountain block most the light much earlier.
Magnifique!
Hey Ron,
I love this type of scene – and, of course, the light is kinda nice, eh? Wow – really nice.
Cheers
Carl
Looks like your local mountains really got pounded! I love it when they look like that. Ours are not quite like that yet but getting there. Very nice shot
Pretty scene and glow, at least you don’t have to stay up all night now to get a sunset.
Wow – I’m jealous! It think it’s rained less than an inch here in the last 6-9 months…and I think I’ll still be wearing shorts at Christmas… : (
Thanks a lot everyone!
John, I gotta admit, there are times I’m jealous of your California weather.

Beautiful effects of light and colour! This photo appeals to me and cools me down too as we’re into Summer heat with another 6 months or so of summer weather to go…
Best wishes,

Fantastic colors! More of Uncle Wiggly’s sky blue pink. Are those clouds or snow blowing on top of the mountain?
Thanks Noella – enjoy your summer!
Hi Joni, Good question. It could be blowing snow, but it was calm – this was cloud cover. Thanks,
Ron
I think I’m jealous of your weather a bit too Ron – I like cold and snowy with mountains. I live 30 min south of Antelope Valley and it’s way too hot (and brown) here. The saving grace is that Yosemite and Sequoia aren’t too far away…

Sounds like you are receiving some rain right now, maybe that will be good for the poppies!
Really gorgeous image, Ron!

Thanks Jack!
Hopefully the Poppy Preserve is getting some, it’s been a sad sight the last two years. I’ll be watching and let you know how it’s shaping up. We need a lot of make-up rain…
