January 13, 2009 at 1630 hOur days are gradually lengthening and sunset has moved from 1652 h to 1725 h over the month of January, a gain of 33 minutes at the end of the day. Each day is a little brighter on my journey home. Even though the air temperatures have remained very cold, the sun is stronger and warmer.

These three pictures show the progression of light over the past three weeks with all photos taken at the same time of day over Mount Trashmore.
Spring is on a slow march, coming our way!

Very nice series of sky colors over Mt. Trashmore (funny name, but it doesn't fit with your lovely photos.)
ReplyDeleteC'mon sun!! Wonderful shots, and the name Mt. Trashmore is priceless!!
ReplyDeleteMount Trashmore is certainly a clever name. Love it!
ReplyDeleteNice sky shots. I was just thinking the other day about how our days are now visibly longer than in late December. Isn't it wonderful?
Ruth--what a wonderful combination--the blaze of the sunset sky and the cool white of the snowy hill.
ReplyDeleteWho would have ever thought that a heap of trash could bring hours and hours of entertainment.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures!
I do like winter, but I go to work and come home from work in the dark. The best part of the day is spent locked up in an office building. So I'm happy that the days are getting longer and spring will soon be here.
Very cool series...it was nice seeing the light progression.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the first photo with the sledders.
Oh my goodness..you got a sun dog..beautiful...
ReplyDeleteWow - all three settings are beautiful! I especially love that scattering of clouds in the last one!
ReplyDeleteWonderful series.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the last shot.

ReplyDeleteOh, that sky color over the snow is glorious!
ReplyDeleteAwesome sun dog! Such a long brilliant one. Aren't they awesome?! Mount Trashmore.. lol. Glad they were able to repurpose it! That's great.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice transformation from trash heap to winter skyline.
ReplyDeleteI've noticed the gradual increase in the afternoon daylight. It's encouraging on these cold, wintry days.
The orange is flamming gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteRuth these are a gorgeous series of images and the first is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThe firey sky just over the hill draws me...I'd be running up that hill!

Thank you all for your lovely comments. I am off now to visit each of your blogs.
ReplyDeleteBlue and orange and pink and white. All such lovely colours in these images. The second one is my favourite as there is such drama in that picture. Love how you have captured just the snow and the sky there. Simplicity is beauty.
ReplyDeleteVery cool...like fire on the horizon.
