Generally speaking winter sunsets in the Pacific Northwest are not dramatic especially if compared with the sunsets over the Great Plains or in the tropics. But sometimes we have to make the best of the given conditions and lighting available to photograph at dusk or dawn.

This was such an evening, it was right after the first snow storm of December, 2021. We had approximately a day of dry weather when we decided we should go check out the coast, see if we are fortunate to see a beautiful sunset. The weather however was not very cooperative but distant cities (possibly Blaine and Vancouver) lit up the frozen winter clouds over the horizon just the right amount to colorize the backdrop and foreground, allowing me to capture these images.

This is probably the final blog post of 2021, I wish you a very happy and better 2022.
