This top section is devoted to sunsets taken by my new Canon Digital Rebel. The top 2 started out as 6.3M pixels and and the 2nd one down on the left was 2.78Mp. They were all reduced to 600 pixels high at 72 pixels per inch using Adobe Photoshop. That became the large image that you can see by clicking on each image. They were further reduced to 300 pixels wide and that became the thumbnails that you can see here. The top right one appeared to have a lot of smoke passing over. I tell people that the sunsets are awesome around here. What you are seeing here is 3 sunsets in a row from the same parking lot. They are also full frame images. I did not do any cropping to produce what you see.
When ever a 2nd window pops up, you only have to click in the image to close the popup window. That is much faster than having to use the back button.

I came across 2 really good sunrises from Richland, Washington. They were shot across the Columbia River just as the sun came up. I like sunrises almost as much as sunsets but I am never doing much at sunrise but thinking of going to bed. They were taken with the 3 MP, Kodak Easyshare 300D and reduced to 600x808 and optimized by Adobe's Imageready for web viewing.. They are both copyrighted by Lorena Pedraza 2005.

The rest of the sunsets are almost all old enough that I can not provide a date.
The sunset on the top left or bottom right no longer exists. They were shot looking towards Rattlesnake Mountain from Bateman Island. You can see some of the fill in the top right image.
Bateman Island is the most up stream point that several members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition reached. The small team camped there for one night and then continued on downstream towards the Pacific Ocean. It is the Yakima River delta area between Richland and Kennewick, Washington and it has filled in to where most of the water that you can see is now islands with the river flowing in between them.

The left photograph was taken by Reed. It is looking west from the house he built on the Stewart Farm in Warren, Utah. The right photograph was taken at Cannon Beach on Oregon's coast line.

The next set of sunsets were photographed at the mountain view area south of Biggs Junction, Oregon. There are a lot of volcanos visible from here.

I live in a dusty, hot area and the sunsets can only be described as glorious. I have one that I am looking for that was an especially brilliant sunset. The whole sky almost looked like it was on fire. I was using a 500mm Nikon Mirror to photograph it when I saw two ducks (los patos) approaching from the south. I timed it and got them dead center in the sun.
