This photo was taken in Llandover Woods just a half of a mile from where we live in Shoreline. The city lives up to its name as you can see. The Puget Sound is in the background of the photo as well as the Olympic mountains. However there are a lot of trees blocking the view.

This is a more common scene of the sky in Seattle. A thin layer of clouds obscuring Mount Rainer in the background. There are actually many days with brilliant blue skies in Seattle. However, this is the most common scene during the spring and summer. During fall and winter the sky is almost always raining 🙂

The photo shared today was taken at the University of Washington. I was one of several people who took photos of this same scene.

CDP theme day, sky

Today is theme day, in the City Daily Photo community, and the theme is sky. Our contribution is this photo of the Standpoint Country Club. The photo was taken looking east at twilight and presents a soft red glow on the horizon.

Today is theme day, in the City Daily Photo community, and the theme is sky. Our contribution is this photo of the Standpoint Country Club. The photo was taken looking east at twilight and presents a soft red glow on the horizon. An internet search finds that the description for this effect is the Belt of Venus. It is caused by scattering of long-wavelength (red) light by the atmosphere.
