Tonight I will share some of my favorite sunset pictures. We have had very weird skies at sunset over the last few weeks because of the fires, so I wanted to look at some more normal sunsets tonight.

I also don’t like seeing a reddish colored moon high in the sky. The smoke is much denser higher in the atmosphere and you can tell how bad by the color of the moon.

Here is a sunset from about five years ago. I like the way Mount Diablo is silhouetted against the sunset and the reflection of the sky in the aqueduct.

Here is a sunset from seven years ago with the Harvest of Progress sculpture silhouetted against the sky.

Here is another aqueduct sunset picture from seven years ago. In this picture the sun had dropped below the horizon so there was not much reflection from the water.

Here is another sunset that is close to home. I took this while out for a walk three years ago. I like the way that the sun is reflected off the railroad tracks.

This sunset picture was taken last January in Patterson just before Sunday night services. The rainy season is really when we expect to see spectacular sunsets.

I hope you enjoyed these normal sunsets.
