Solitary Sunrise

I decided to beat the sunrise a few mornings ago, and opted for a new location. I made my way around the old railway bridge, and scrambled down to the river. Waiting for the sunrise, I watched the fog waft past, birds fly to and fro while going about their business, while the sunlight peaked over the distant mountains to play an amazing light show off of the clouds and the fog, all reflected in the tranquil waters.

This photo of a red barn outside of Uniontown was taken by Leif Hoffmann (Clarkston, WA) in the late afternoon of February 19, 2022 when stopping for the sunset.

Just weeks old, these chicks worked our garden over in search of earwigs and any other bugs they could find. Surprising, they can actually fly at this stage in their life. The parents were in our Lilac tree, perched there with a watchful eye, about 10 feet away. Photo by Jay Armstrong, taken near the Normal Hill area in Lewiston, Idaho.

Due to the heavy smoke from the regional wildfires, we have been having some truly amazing sunrises! I set out on the morning of August 25th, at about 7:00am, to capture the sunrise under a 500mm lens, and ended up getting more than I bargained for! With the heavy smoke acting as a primitive solar filter, I was able to capture these two sunspots in the photosphere of the sun! Sunspots are visible magnetic fluxuations on the suns' surface, causing a relative decrease in temperature and light. Often appearing as two separate spots, one spot is typically positively-charged, while the other has a negative magnetic charge. Only the largest sunspots can be seen from Earth without the use of a telescope, and what makes this photo even better is that sunspots aren't permanent, and can last only a few days. While it's never a smart idea to look or point your camera at the sun without protection, the smoke and a bit of luck on timing worked together to provide me with this awesome capture!
The month of May decided to exit with a show, as seen from the top of Lewiston hill using a 10-second exposure technique. I was happily surprised how well the rain reflected the light over Clearwater Paper to show the rainfall in the photo. The white streak near the bottom is a car driving up Spiral Highway, and the distance they traveled in the 10 seconds. Photo taken by Greg Schmidt of Lewiston, Idaho.
