Elvis's sunsets and other pics

Thanks for the kind words Vic.
Sorry if you're feeling a little jealous of the weather we're enjoying out here right now.
Oddly enough, yesterday it was in the 90's and tomorrow its supposed to start raining....go figure....they always say "Summer" around here always starts on July 5th.

Happy Canada Day!

And hardly a ripple on the water. Are you brave enough to swim in it or is it a bit like our waters up in the Snowey, cold enough to freeze the b***s of a brass monkey. What about fishing!

I swam in that canal when I was a kid.
Its ocean water, so its quite cold.
56 degrees F, I think.
Fishing is great.
Salmon, Flounder, Cod, Sea Bass, etc.
When the inland commercial fishing season opens, there's enough boats out there that, sometimes, it seems like you can almost walk across to the other side.

And hardly a ripple on the water.

Actually, the water was quite "ripply" last night. Rarely is the whole canal like glass.
Here's an example from 2015. You can see the calm areas, surrounded by wind buffeted ripples....

That's right.

My apologies for forgetting it.

Looking outside just now (sun will set in about an hour or so).
Doesn't look promising.
Went back through my pics and noticed I have never gotten a sunset shot on the 4th, but almost every year, there's a few shots that happen between the 7th and the 9th, so if I don't get anything to you guys tonight, just hang on.
I should be back in a few days, or possibly next week.

...another two parter....

...earlier...

...and later...

Once again a couple of nice evening shots, particularly like the reflection of the sun on the under cloud on the second shot.

Not wanting to steel your thunder I took this shot from what was my hobby room window some years back. It was before we moved to our current location where sadly we do not have the western sky view anymore. Hope you don't mind me posting this.

No, I don't mind.
That's a nice pic, Vic.
I suspect you would've gotten a nice red glow off the clouds, like I did last night, about 10 minutes after that picture was taken.
Thanks for sharing. =)

Not much of a sunset tonight (last few nights, actually), but I did get an "okie-dokie" snappy of it, so it gets posted...
