Wintertime Light....

We have passed the solstice where the amount of day and night are equal. The days are getting longer. But - that does not mean we see the sun for hours and hours....
At 9 am we began to get a pink glow on the horizon...
about 12 noon we saw the sun pop up above the hills.... (the hill to the right in the photo above)
at 3:45 pm the sun dipped below the horizon again... (a little to the left of the photo above)
right now at 4:15 pm we have day light but only see a pink glow along the horizon...

Happy New Year 2007!!

New Years Eve

A bonfire on the beach, fireworks in the air, and cold temperatures!!
Some Christmas trees were piled together on the beach....

The temperature was -20 but folks just dress warm and gather to ring in the new year!






























At midnight the fireworks begin... in some of the photos you can see the moon in the upper left corner - it was a beautiful clear cold evening...
Cold enough that the digital camera worked very slooowly....

Happy New Year 2007
