Man! I love this state...Beats the hell outta Jersey!!!!!!!! Although the sunrise over the ocean was kinda cool, but nothing even close to the sunrise/sunsets we have here...

Posted by: Mrs.CP Jul 7 2008, 11:57 AM

Here is one I took on the evening of the 4th.
Fireworks took over this view when the sky darkened more.

BTW Trevor (TWA)...Yes the snow comes with them all....year round on the mountain peaks. wub.gif

WOW Denise you are a great photographer.

Posted by: OkieJon Jul 7 2008, 02:54 PM

I agree,Denise has taken some great wildlife and sunset pictures!
Thanks for sharing them.
SW Oklahoma has nice sunsets but nothing to compare to Colorado.

This was taken from my porch near Ringling,Ok.

Great picture OkieJon. Fantastic colors! happy.gif

I don't know where you've been Chris, But I see you took First Place!!!
Looking Good. Woody.

Posted by: Mrs.CP Oct 17 2011, 07:19 PM

Great picture Chris...You nailed that one! char098.gif

"I don't know where you've been Chris, But I see you took First Place!!!"

Not the exact wording from the song, but reminds me of a song the Irish Rovers sing Woody. giggle.gif
I will have to post it in the "off the wall" thread in the Jam Sessions.
biggrin.gif

Posted by: Woody Oct 18 2011, 07:31 AM

I think it is only missing the word "lad" in the place of "Chris". A great drinking song. I got it, but don't know how to post it.

Posted by: Mrs.CP Oct 20 2011, 07:16 AM

No worries Woody, I added it. wink.gif

At the top of the "Off the wall songs" thread, I added some instructions for adding links that might help you. Check it out while you listed to some songs. stereo.gif

Sun sets in the west.... but this is looking to the east this evening. Kinda cool when that happens.
From my 2nd story front window....
peaceful

This pic shows what appear to be multiple weather patterns within the same cloud formation. Often a cloud or system will vary greatly from one side to another but that change occurs vertically, as in from left to right. Here the changes can clearly be seen occurring latterly, like different layers of sedimentary rock and clay. I wonder which one has the gold in it?? Woody.

Posted by: ColoradoProspector Nov 11 2011, 09:52 AM

Wow Swizz that's a spectacular shot! char098.gif Awesome color contrast and clarity, just beautiful!

Woody's thinking of weather but when I opened the pic I found myself dreaming of orange agate formations in progress biggrin.gif ......hmmmmm I must be a tad bit weird! smiley-laughing021.gif

Thanks for sharing the sunset colors, very nice.

Posted by: Mrs.CP Nov 13 2011, 10:07 AM

Awesome shot Chris, amazing detail. I love how the branches wrap around the sides of the picture with the snowy mountains at the bottom. Good job! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

Orange Sherbet comes to mind for me. blush.gif

Posted by: Mrs.CP Nov 15 2011, 10:13 AM

Here was my best attempt in freezing cold temps outside sick a few days ago. wacko.gif

Warming peaceful colors at the end of another beautiful day here in Colorado.

Posted by: swizz Nov 15 2011, 07:18 PM

Good shot Denise, and similar to the cloud formation in the recent one I posted. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif
Sorry to hear that you caught the sick and hope that it passes soon! Never any fun.
I know it's been cold down your way too... been seeing it on the news every morning. I'm betting that new woodstove has been getting a workout!

Posted by: Woody Nov 28 2011, 10:00 AM

Here is a Pic that was taken just as the sun set. It didn't last but for about 10 minutes but really put on a heck of a display. It would of been great to have had a time laps video of this sunset. Woody.


 

Posted by: Mrs.CP Nov 28 2011, 11:26 AM

Cool picture Woody! happy088.gif It almost looks like a big fire in the distance.

Posted by: swizz Dec 13 2011, 12:42 PM

Here's one from the back yard last night. Not spectacular... but kinda cool.

Posted by: Mrs.CP Dec 14 2011, 08:27 AM

I think it's spectacular!!!! Good job Chris!! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif char098.gif Fantastic colors. happy088.gif

Posted by: russau Dec 14 2011, 09:57 AM

i should have moved 4 years ago while i had the chance!

Posted by: swizz Jan 1 2012, 06:58 PM

This one's an optical illusion.
I took it about an hour ago, good pastel colors tonight. This is looking north.
It appears as though there are mountains and plains in the background.
NOT... it is 100% clouds. wink.gif





Posted by: Mrs.CP Jan 2 2012, 08:52 AM

Beautiful shot Chris and I love the colors! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif It definately looks like mountains and plains!

It's never too late Russ, Colorado will always have a place for you when your ready.
smile.gif

Posted by: swizz Jan 2 2012, 10:21 AM

To better illustrate the illusion... here's a pic I took this morning from the same perspective.



Posted by: Woody Mar 3 2012, 07:43 PM

Here is a picture I took this evening as the sun was setting over the Cheyenne Mountains. Pikes Peak is just out of the the picture to the right. I think I would of had a nice, long ride if I had noticed the skyline sooner.


 

Posted by: swizz Mar 3 2012, 08:24 PM

Good one!

Posted by: swizz Mar 6 2012, 12:00 PM

Here is a sunset looking across Lake Granby after a day of ice fishing this winter.
(pssst Woody, Abe Lincoln is in the background) biggrin.gif


Posted by: Mrs.CP Mar 7 2012, 03:58 PM

Great pictures guys!! Keep them coming, I have been missing them lately. sad.gif I need to take more time out to see them....so what if the dinner burns. music037.gif

Posted by: Mrs.CP Apr 27 2012, 07:45 PM

I caught a good one storming in the distance with the sun going down. char098.gif


Posted by: swizz Apr 28 2012, 08:04 AM

very nice happy088.gif
I've been slacking lately on the the sunrise/sunset pics, need to get back on that.

Posted by: Mrs.CP Apr 28 2012, 04:02 PM

Thanks Chris! I would love to see more of your sunset/sunrise pictures....You have a great view there!!! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

Posted by: leonard Apr 29 2012, 08:51 AM

Being retired, the sun gets up quite a bit before me. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif I then go to bed before the sun sets. Dang, retirement's nice!

So you must really love this thread then Leonard. biggrin.gif

This one is from a few days ago, but better late than never right? Lots of clouds this afternoon...even making it hard to see the eclipse of the sun. sad.gif


Posted by: Mrs.CP Jun 6 2012, 08:46 PM

The wildfires had the sunset red tonight again. Here are a couple shots looking east.
Looks like a big storm is brewing!!





Posted by: Mrs.CP Sep 21 2012, 07:35 PM

I love the stormy clouds during a good sunset! happy.gif Here is a closer look.

That one is surreal.... like from a sci-fi movie or something.
Different, and very cool.

Posted by: Mrs.CP Sep 22 2012, 06:31 AM

Thanks Chris, I love the different clouds especially when they show colors with the sunrise or sunset. signs021.gif

Colorado sunset after a chilly November day.


Posted by: Mrs.CP May 16 2013, 09:29 PM

A wonderful ending to a beautiful May day! cloud9.gif




 

Posted by: Woody May 16 2013, 11:34 PM

Here is a sunset Picture I took last weekend from the boat. I am headed to the lake again this weekend. Me and my dad are going to spend a couple of days fishing, should be fun.


 

Posted by: russau May 17 2013, 05:24 AM

Woody enjoy/treasure them days with your father! there will come a time when youll reflect back on them! before my dad passed (1985) he wanted me to take a leave of absence from work for a month and go with him on his boat down the Mississippi River (St.Louis,Missouri)to the Gulf of Mexico. i told him i couldnt afford to take that kind of time off. i dearly wish i had! not many years latter i got divorced and shortly after that my dad passed.and 1 year latter my mother passed! i truely lost a treasure!so have fun with your father and take lots of pictures and enjoy!

Posted by: Woody Jul 21 2013, 11:30 PM

Here is a nice picture of a large thunder storm that passed over Saturday night. It had some intense lighting and cooled the evening off quickly.


 

Posted by: Crusty Jul 21 2013, 11:51 PM

Very cool shot Woody!!

Posted by: swizz Aug 19 2013, 03:37 PM

Here's an odd one.


I waited too long and it turned evil on me!

Posted by: Caveman Aug 19 2013, 08:21 PM

Cooooool, Santa! laugh.gif
AHHHHH! Bad Santa! ohmy.gif

Posted by: Mrs.CP Aug 20 2013, 11:59 AM

thumbsupsmileyanim.gif Very cool pictures Chris! I really like seeing a good sunset, even the angry ones. giggle.gif

Here is one I took the other evening.




 

Posted by: Rockytop Sep 13 2013, 10:12 PM

Hello to all, I lurk here from time to time, and sometimes post but not often. I just had to drop in and say how much I've been enjoying your sunset photos. I have one to add that is a little different. It is a reflected sunset photo of the Sangre de Cristo range east of my home near Alamosa. I took this Dec. 11th of 2011 and the sun is setting behind me but all of the reflected colors appeared in the sky behind the Blanca massif in the east. Hope you enjoy, I know sunrises and sunsets are fascinating to me. Paul


Posted by: Mrs.CP Sep 14 2013, 06:29 AM

That's a fantastic picture Paul!! Looks like we enjoy some similiar views because of location. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

Posted by: llamabox Sep 14 2013, 09:52 PM

I'm a bit further north of you folks, but the Sangre De Cristos looking east from outside Saguache.


Posted by: ColoradoProspector Sep 16 2013, 08:02 AM

We really do get some dandy sunsets/sunrises here in the valley! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif Nice shots everyone! char098.gif

Posted by: Mrs.CP Oct 11 2013, 07:03 AM

Here is a sunset shot looking twards the Sand Dunes. This picture was taken a few days ago. Last nights sunset had snow all over Mt. Blanca. wacko.gif




 

Posted by: swizz Nov 2 2017, 08:03 PM

Here's a pretty intense sunset from the back of my place. For some reason the position of the sun has good sunsets here at this time of year. It sets in that saddle in about another month and gets even better .

Great picture Chris! cloud9.gif

Posted by: swizz Nov 3 2017, 04:59 PM

Thanks Denise! I will probably add more here if the sun keeps setting nice like this. I'm a sucker for a good sunset. We only get to witness "X" amount of sunsets in our lifetimes and I cherish every good one that catches my eye. happy088.gif
