Sunset and Blogging


Looking out of the window provides hours of harmless entertainment.

On Sunday evening we had an unusually spectacular sunset.
My new camera picks up bright colors, unlike the last one where I had to crank up the colors every time. 
Tangobaby has a nice sunset today.
Willow of Willow Manor mentioned Tangobaby.
You see how we run in circles and cross-pollinate.

This is looking west down 23rd Street. The two alien spaceships, lower left, are the (one) light over the dining table.

This picture was taken between the other two looking slightly northwest, and the sinking sun is reflected in the windows of the buildings.

    Your new camera does the business, doesn't it.

    It's funny - I popped into willow's blog a little while ago and saw she mentioned Tangobaby. Blogland sure is a funny circular place.

    Elizabeth - I want to wish you a great year ahead full of lovely photos, fun and laughter...and always good health

    Yes, what kind of camera? I may be shopping for a new one. And with the colors you're producing, I'm interested in yours!

    Happy New Year to you!

    Hallo ELizabeth, this New York sunset is GREAT! I also visited tangobaby's sunset in San Franzisco.
    Your new camera seems to be great! My new camera is so good when there is little light.
    Nevertheless, I manage to get crappy photos ;)
    Sometimes these blurred photos look quite interesting, and it's a lot of fun, too!

    With that excellent lighting and a good eye (okay and that super camera) you can make a drab industrial area look like a work of art.

    Gosh what a lot of interest in my new little camera.
    A NIKON COOLPIX S610/S610c
    A present from my husband.
    We got it at J&R photo downtown the day of the snowstorm.
    I had sort of wanted a Lumix but the salesman suggested this one. It was less than $300 and seems excellent so far.
    When the festivities have abated, I will read the manual.......
    Happy New Year!
