Bitter Cold Beauty

















Here is another photograph from last night's sunset.  The air temp was about minus 10 degrees with a brisk wind out of the north when this photo was made.  Sometimes the prettiest colors happen AFTER the sun goes down!  I was in awe of the beauty that surrounded me last night as the sun went down.  As I watched the sun descend through a bank of sea smoke on the horizon I thought "How could this get any prettier?"  Well, a few minutes after the sun was gone, these beautiful horizontal clouds out over the lake started to glow with this soft pink intensity.  It made for a really interesting photograph with all the piles of plate ice in the foreground.  I sure do love winter!
