Today's sunset (approx 5pm) Sorry I didnt get better pics

I have no idea why, but there are some days where you get all sorts of colors in the sunsets up here.  Never seen it like this in any other state.  Some days it will get to the point where everything is tinted orange or red or purple.  After 25 years of living here, just like the northern lights, it is something neat to see every time

nice sunset, but alaska isn't the only state that gets that kind of sunset. Minnesota gets that too.

Never been to Minnesota.  Only Washington, Idaho, and Hawaii.  Kind of figures people would get it elsewhere,

Wonder if its a particulate thing in the upper atmosphere or what.

It has something to do with the air quality like dust, pollution, and also i think because of the angle of light. Might be more into that which I don't know.

They do have that sunset in the southern states as well too.

Your pics are beautiful, and I have dreamed of living in Alaska for a long time now.



Here is a Texas sunrise I snapped on my way home from work at 70 miles an hour one morning.

I hope you are being sarcastic

Neat

Btw, check out my Alaska thread.  I try to keep it updated in GD on a regular basis.  Warmer weather/spring is a month and a half off.

Well, it was the best I could do at the time.  I did expect sarcasm in this thread though
