Another Sunset Photo

I enjoy taking pictures of sunrises and sunsets and will take almost any opportunity to show them.  Sunday’s Sunrise/Sunset Photo Meme gives me such an opportunity.  To see other sunrise/sunset pictures from all over the world click on the logo or name above.

The picture below was taken in May, 2008, at Sunset Beach, North Carolina.  Betsy and I were spending a few days at the beach and had driven to Sunset Beach after an early dinner.  Sunset Beach is an island and we were on our way back to the mainland as the sun was going down.  There was no other traffic on the causeway at this moment, so I stopped to get this picture.  The Intracoastal Waterway is in the foreground.

Last week I posted a sunset picture.  This week I’ll prove that I can get up to see a sunrise by posting a sunrise picture.  To see more sunrise/sunset pictures click on the logo above to go to the Sunday Sunrise/Sunset website.

This picture was also taken on Mount Nebo in Arkansas.  I got this picture by going to Sunrise Point on the mountain.  Although we got there just as it was beginning to get light, we had to wait some time to get this picture.  The sun has popped up above a layer of clouds.  The mountains on the other side of the valley can be seen below the sun and clouds.

I’ll have to admit that it takes a little more effort to get a sunrise picture,  especially on a cold, windy morning.  But I think the effort was worth it.

This is the first time I’ve tried something like this, so I guess it is an experiment on my part.  Carla is the person that brought this meme to my attention, so I thought I would give it a try.  You can go directly to Sunday Sunrise/Sunset by clicking on the logo above or by clicking HERE.  At the website you can find links to other sunrise/sunset photos.

This picture is one that I took last November from Mt. Nebo State Park in Arkansas.

I chose this picture because I like it and because Betsy and I are going back there this week.

Betsy has been going to Mt. Nebo for longer than she has known me, but she took me there for the first time in November, 2006.  This trip will be our fourth.  We always stay in a beautiful cabin on top of the mountain where we can enjoy the mountain views and the sunsets.  Up there on that mountaintop it is almost always quiet and it is easy to enjoy the beauty and grandeur of God’s creation.

We’ll be gone for almost a week, but we should get home sometime Friday evening.  In the meantime I hope you all have a very good week.
