City It Is Beautiful Right Now
Posted by Sam Machkovech on Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 9:35 PM
Driving north on Aurora a few minutes ago. To my left, mountains in the distance burned orange with a bright blue tint surrounding, like a pilot light. To my right, mountains in the distance looked like someone held a dim light against a sheet of paper stained fully with dark, purply ink. In front, there were purple and white flashes of three police cars pulling someone over.
I had to tell someone. It looked incredible. I'm going back outside.

It's because of volcanic ash. There will be more sunsets like this for the next week or so.

I used to live right on the north slope of Queen Anne Hill, just west of the Aurora Bridge, and our apt. had a deck that was situated to directly face the setting sun this time of year. It was awesome when we had sunsets like this.

Aw. Nice.
I always wanna share when I see a gorgeous sunset too. I used to send text messages to friends/lovers to tell 'em to go look, but they mostly didn't seem to really care. I guess I should get a blog. :)

I took this photo almost exactly 3 years ago! Thanks for posting it. :) I friggin LOVE the near-solstice sunsets we get here in Seattle, they're always so agreeable.
That being said, I've been meaning to take a picture of the GORGEOUS sunsets we've been having the past week.. the sky is clear and neon pink/orange and stays that way for a good 45 minutes after the sun sets behind the Olympics.

FYI - I think this makes 5 photos of mine featured in the SLOG, for anyone keeping track. I'll just sit back and wait for the Stranger cover solicitations to come rolling in. :P

Gorgeous photo. Looks like a winter scene with a frozen lake (except for the boats in the water, of course). Best wishes.
