Happy Monday everyone! It seems like January weather is hitting the mountains hard this year. It’s not necessarily the snow I’m talking about, but the fierce cold temperatures. It’s been years since we’ve had so many long extended stretches of temperatures in the 30’s. I guess that makes the stray 50 degree day seem even nicer.
Since we are in for another extended cold blast this week, I thought now would be the perfect time to share some of the sunset pictures I got when we were in Key West. I was dreaming of warmer weather when I was getting these photos ready for the blog… so hopefully they will send some warm thoughts your way too.
Now, I’m still just learning the use the camera I got for my birthday, but I thought these turned out pretty good. The first sunset is from a sunset cruise on a sailboat. The second is from the dock at Mallory Square, where hundreds gather every night to watch the poetic close to the day.
Enjoy!

From Dock Near Mallory Square
And just for perspective… a look at the GIANT crowd that draws to watch the views daily. I wonder how many pictures were taken that night?
I love sunsets. Being able to watch them is one of my favorite parts of most vacations 
Questions for the you…
Where is your favorite sunset?
Sunset or Sunrise? Which do you prefer?

Your birthday camera takes beautiful pics, have to give the operator credit too. Thank you for sharing. I love sunrises at the beach and sailboats, but my heart is here in the mountains sunrise and sunset.

Aw! Thank Sonya! I'm still learning, but I'm happy the way the turned out! The mountains are so pretty too!
Lavon Helm says
Wow! Incredible photos Julie!!!!! Did you ever take classes in photography while you were a student at Florida?
JulieWunder says
Hi Lavon,
Not really. My Telecommunications classes taught me to shoot video for news, so I learned the basics of video... but not still photography. Some of the ideas are the same though! I'd like to take a class, but I'm teaching myself for now.
