I've noticed that it's been a while since I've posted a sunrise or a sunset, so I couldn't just let that pass. Actually, it's been a while since I've gone out to shoot a sunrise or sunset, so I will need to spend some time out to make up for it this year.
This sunrise was taken about a year ago, but unfortunately, I don't remember where I was at the time. I love the wide range of colours in the shot as well as the randomness of the clouds.
As I continue to review and clean up my archives, I've been trying to conceptually group some photos together into some kind of common topic. For today's photos, I've grouped a number of cloudscapes I took at various times a couple of years ago. We really do get some great cloud shots here in Calgary.
Winter has finally made its presence known around here with our first big snowfall earlier this week. I haven't had much chance to go out and shoot, so here's a shot of some bare trees I took last winter at a snow covered soccer/baseball field. I like the silhouetting of the trees against the late evening sky.
Today's photo comes from the archives from late last year. I was wandering through the neighbourhood one evening and noticed the interesting gap of sky between the clouds as the sun was setting. I would later learn that this is a typical formation from a chinook arch. This photo was taken in a future construction zone and the water you see is actually fairly shallow, as it is just a little flood of rain and/or melted snow in a few future house lots.
One of the great weather features we get in Calgary are the chinook winds. These typically bring in uncharacteristically warm weather in the middle of winter conditions. Along with the winds, we often see some great cloud formations through the days and nights. This shot was taken on such a morning on my way in to work. I love how the pinks and purples are reminiscent of a big pile of cotton candy in the sky.
