Sunset Beaufort, NC

The sun sets over the water in Beaufort.  Not what you usually see on the East coast.  

 

Evening sky

With all the trees around, we don't always see great sunsets.  But this one was amazing.

 

Sundown

With so many trees around, we don't see a lot of sunsets.  But this one peaked out through the trees.

As the sun went down...

the moon came up.  Bright and full.

Sunset

Sunset through the pines.

Red sky at night

No storm in sight.

Night Baseball

Last Friday was fireworks night at the Durham Bulls baseball game.  
The sky put on its own show during the game.

Sunset again

It's hard to resist taking sunset pictures.  

Sunset

The clouds were making shadows in the sky.  

Sunset

Every direction I looked, the sky was lit up with pink.

Of course, being North Carolina, you only see it through the trees...

Sunset

Sunset can even make mucky water look like gold.

Evening sky

The sun sets so early these days, that an afternoon turns suddenly to evening.  

cloud shadow

As the sun started to go down behind a cloud I saw the shadow of the cloud make streaks across the sky.  The darker lines aren't gaps in the clouds, they're the shadow of one cloud shading the other clouds in the sky.  

Sunset after a rainy day

The clouds cleared at sunset.

Looming cloud

It was only a thunderhead built up by a humid hot day.  But at sunset above the trees, it looked like an ominous cloud of doom...

Sunset with stripes

The lines in the picture are contrails, but they were going in the same direction as the clouds so it looked like a striped sky.

Sunset

View through the trees of the sunset.  It's hard to find a place to see the horizon in Raleigh, there are so many tall trees...
