I’ve mentioned previously that we have had a number of days with a smokey haze on the horizon. It makes for some spectacular sunsets.
I took these a couple of miles east of Bend where there are some open fields with a nearly panoramic view of the mountains. Some nights the beauty of it takes my breath away.

You’re very artistic Maralee. I am a terrible flop when I try to do anything close to this.
Thank you, Christine.
Stunning photos, Maralee!
Thanks Carissa. The skies have cleared of all the smoke now so I don’t expect such colorful sunsets over the next few day.
Wonderful, I’m like an old vinyl – scratched one .. repeating myself all the time.
My pick today is the top one – because of the colors and also the last one. Like the little touch of lilac. Stunning photos.
Thanks, Viveka.

Thanks, Shez. We’ve been having some pretty nice sunrises and sunsets due to the fire near Sisters. Sad way to have nice sunsets, though.
Spectacular!
