As mentioned on the Sunsets page, I made a minor habit of taking photos of dramatic skies in the various places I find myself. The rich, saturated colors, cloud patterns and contrasts between light and dark often make for excellent watching. I try to capture some of that impression in images.

Some other pages on this site that show sunrises or sunsets include:

This sunrise photo was taken on November 17, 2002 at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. We were there to watch the famous dawn take-off of the Snow Geese. A bunch of them are in the air here, against the red, pre-dawn clouds.
