Normally our prettiest sunsets occur in the fall and spring, because we see more cloudy skies then, but the start of 2015 was filled with many pretty sunsets and sunrises this year….great way to start the new year as far as I was concerned….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"03<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"02<\/a><\/p>\n

..I started out from Park Street shooting west across the City Park toward the Skating Rink and City Pool, then decided to run out to the end of WW to see if it would hang in the sky and allow me to get the pond reflections….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"05<\/a>\u00a0\"08<\/a><\/p>\n

…low and behold, it did hang up in the skies for a few minutes more after I arrived….and found the pond frozen completely over…which is okay because ice makes a great reflection too….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"12<\/a><\/p>\n

\"16<\/a><\/p>\n

\"18<\/a><\/p>\n

…the next night, I went out to the city lake, since the sky was completely filled with clouds that just blossomed into a gorgeous sunset….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"20<\/a><\/p>\n

…as well as several geese, both in the water when I arrived and more coming by air a few minutes later when summoned by those already in the water….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"24<\/a><\/p>\n

…I never knew there were that many Canadian geese at the City Lake, they just kept coming in….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"30<\/a><\/p>\n

\"39<\/a><\/p>\n

…and as I was leaving, I stopped and photographed our newly rennovated Missouri Baptist Hospital of Sullivan, too….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"40<\/a><\/p>\n

…two very pretty sunsets in a row….it was about ten days before I was able to photograph another nice one, on my way to work…this time I found some water puddles near the City Pool that gave me some nice reflections…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"44<\/a><\/p>\n

…and then I drove down to the end of Fisher Drive and looked west and saw this….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"46<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

…and this one looking east as I headed down the interstate to work….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"49<\/a><\/p>\n

…a few nights later I shot these as I was headed to have supper with my parents….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"55<\/a><\/p>\n

\"52<\/a><\/p>\n

…and on my way to Rolla one night to have supper with a good photographer friend at Colton`s Steakhouse….first one is a little fuzzy….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"62<\/a><\/p>\n

\"63<\/a><\/p>\n

…and closer to Cuba, there was this bright point of light that came thru the clouds and even reflected off the interstate pavement….never seen anything like it before….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"66<\/a><\/p>\n

\"68<\/a><\/p>\n

\"70<\/a><\/p>\n

\"75<\/a><\/p>\n

…that was a gorgeous sunset that just hung up in the skies til I was darn near to St James….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
