Sunset on Burnet Bay, January 10, 2024 – My first sunset photo of the new year!

 

Another nice sunset on Burnet Bay one day later!  Dec 5, 2023

 

The photos above and below are from the same sunset on Burnet Bay but different views – Dec 4, 2024

 

 

Sunset on Burnet Bay on Nov 20, 2023 after a cold front rolled in.

 

 

Sunset on Burnet Bay, October 8, 2023.  The cool front both calmed the waters and provided the clouds for this sunset….

 

Sunset on Burnet Bay on August 29, 2023 – The hot dry weather recently has not produced many clouds at sunset. (The cloud on the left looks a bit like a dragon swooping across the sky?)

 

Sunset on Burnet Bay, June 11, 2023. After minimal photo worthy sunsets for 3 months, two nice sunsets in the same week….

 

Sunset on Burnet Bay after a rain storm on June 6, 2023. After an early evening rain storm with high winds and 1 inch of rain, the horizon began to clear at sunset reflecting the golden color of the sunset on the bottom of the storm clouds.  It was still sprinkling rain when I took this shot.

Houston Skyline on left side horizon after rain storm front passed on Feb 8, 2023.

 

 

“Leaping Fish” Sunset on Dec 30, 2022 on Burnet Bay:  A Striped Mullet leaped out of the water while I took this sunset photo (see the lower left third of the photo.)  Typically these fish leap to try to evade being eaten by a larger fish . This was the last leap after several leaps (so either the fish got away….or became dinner….)

 

 

Sunset on Burnet Bay, Dec 21, 2022 – after the cloudy day, did not expect a nice sunset…

Sunset on Burnet Bay, August 1, 2022.  Hard to see, but there is a tiny image of the crescent moon peaking from behind the clouds. Can you find it? (slightly up and left of the middle of the photo)

 

Sunset on Burnet Bay, June 7, 2022.  Thanks to Vann, a neighbor, for alerting me to this interesting sunset in time to take this photo!  300mm lens without a tripod…

 

Sunset on Burnet Bay, April 1, 2022

 

 

Sunset on Burnet Bay on March 13, 2022 – Unusual to have cloud cover at the horizon with a gap and then clouds above – The photo captures the sun setting in this gap in the clouds with the Houston skyline below the sun. It looked like the evil eye of Sauron from the Lord of the Rings….  The “black dots” to the left of the sun are seagulls.

 

 

Sunset on Burnet Bay March 9, 2022:  Sun peaked below the layer of clouds before sunset and heads down just to the left of the Houston skyline.

 

Sunset on Burnet Bay March 9, 2022: Same sunset just before disappearing below the horizon.

 

 

I did not expect to photograph the sunset tonight since there were no clouds after the cold front moved in last night, but noticed these vivid color bands on the horizon reflecting in the calm water. It was not until after I looked at the photo on my computer I noticed the “star” in the upper left hand corner.  I identified “the star” using the Skyview app on my phone and found it to be the planet Jupiter….
