Sunset Friday evening from a parking lot in Everett. We've had a week of spectacular sunrises and sunsets. As I reveled in the beauty and differences of each and every one, I realized how few we get to see in the Pacific Northwest. Known for our rain it's actually the cloudy conditions that are in abundance. Although, as you can see in the photo, if the clouds aren't solid they create some great special effects. This time of year sunrise is at a "reasonable" time of day. Unlike summer where one must get up at 4am to see it. That's too early for me these days. Right now I get to experience the colors of dawn and dusk during my commute making the drudgery of driving nearly an hour all the more interesting.
