As much as I love where I live, I'm actually too close to the mountains to see a really good sunset. Go figure, eh? If I drive clear across town to the plains, I can see a great view of a sunset.

Great post, I recently saw a beautiful sunset whilst in Spain.
Yvonne.
One can be addicted to sunsets like that! I can't complain though; my sunsets on the beach are stunning, even on cloudy days.
I have the Cascades directly west of me, but we usually get great sunsets. Oregon inspires me every day. :) Happy Wednesday!
I'd frame those sunsets and look at them when I needed calming. Beautiful shots, Shannon. I hope we get to see the rest of those photos. I visited Oregon years ago, and loved their beaches, too.
Thanks for the links. We do get lovely sunsets and sunrises in our neck of the woods, but this morning... just snow in the mountains. Bah!
The yellow-orange one was from a moving car? Impressive!!
We can't usually see the sunsets here, either. :/
Beautifully shot sunsets. I'm with Alex. All my moving car pics are blurry.
Great links! Beautiful pictures, love that area of the country!
I recently saw a sunrise on the east coast - lovely!
Your sunset pic is absolutely beautiful.
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
Amazing pictures!!
Human, Shannon,
My human, Gary, has been to Oregon. He had a lovely time and your photos have brought back some memories for him. Thank you.
Amongst your links, I noted a blog hop link. And thus, like my human, Argggghhhh!!!! blog hops, blogfests...make them stop!!!
Pawsitive wishes,
Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar :)
Those are GORGEOUS! Ohmygosh, just wow. Since you don't get to see the sunset very much, I'll email you pictures when I have the chance to see it. Maybe it'll force me to start taking pictures instead of just thinking admiring it for a few minutes.
Also, thank you for the mention again. =)
I love sunsets, and have some great pictures of the sunset over the beach in Sarasota, Florida. I live near a pond now, and might be able to get some nice pictures of the sun setting over the water while the weather is still good.
Beautiful sunset! Thanks for all of the links to check out.
You were in my part of the world with those photos--the glorious Pacific Northwest. I live in Seattle now (great sunsets here too) but used to live in Portland so there's a bit of nostalgia in your lovely photos.
Yvonne, oo, sounds divine!
Rosaria, I bet they are!
Mary, sounds lovely! Yeah, my problem is that I'm in the foothills to the east of a fourteener, so it appears to add up to the colors just barely creeping up above Pikes Peak. Now, when I'm farther east, I usually have a better view (of both the mountain and the sunset). But I'm happy being in the foothills, so I'm not complaining!
D.G., that's a good idea. I keep looking at them on my comp to relax.
Julie, I remember one morning waking up to everything in the house being bathed in vivid orange light. By the time I got dressed and outside, I'd missed the sunrise, but just the colors in the house were magical.
Alex, it was! I couldn't believe I landed the shots. Now, there were plenty of shots with blurred trees in the way, though.
Andrew, mountains?
Maurice, I tend to have good luck with my camera and moving pictures. But then I also have plenty of blurred motion shots, believe me!
Yolanda, ooo, it's been a loooong time since I saw a sunrise on the east coast, and I was too young to appreciate it.
Shelly, thanks!
Julie, thank you!
Dearest Penny, when was your human in Oregon?
Rachel, I'd love to see those pics!
Carrie-Anne, I bet those would be beautiful!
Susanne, thanks!
Dearest human, Shannon,
My human, Gary, was there way back in 1972. He was a teenager with his first car. He drove from Vancouver, Canada to San Francisco. In between, he stopped at several locations in Oregon, including Klamath Falls.
