Sunset on Laguna Beach, Panama City, FL (2021, via smartphone)
Resurrection Bay, Seward, AK (2019, via digital camera) — the smoke from nearby wildfires rendered the distant mountains as flat graphic shapes, more like a design than a photograph.
Sunset and low tide on Turnagain Arm, AK (2019, via digital camera, taken through the window of a train) — because of nearby wildfires, we were treated to unusually brilliant sunset colors; I wanted to swim in them, to drink them in and saturate myself in them. The receded tide left serpentine rivulets behind it, painting the colors of the sky across the mud.
Solar Eclipse, Atlanta, GA (2017, via tablet) — in Atlanta, the solar eclipse was not complete, but it rendered every point of light filtering through the trees into crescents. The effect was other-worldly and unexpectedly delightful.
Great Smoky Mountains outside Gatlinburg, TN (2015, via smartphone) — this trip to the Great Smoky Mountains brought us suddenly into a winter fairy wonderland, all the trees coated by the freezing fog.
