Second Sunset

This time of year we get about two hours of direct sunlight at our float cabin. The sun "rises" over the treetops at about 10:00 a.m. and "sets" behind more trees at noon. Of course, that is well before actual sunset.

Later in the afternoon we experience what we call second sunset. Sunlight skips over our cabin but illuminates Goat Island across the bay from our front porch. Starting at about 4:00, we watch the shadow of the Bunster Range walk up the face of Goat for the next half hour. We call that our "second sunset."

Of course, sunsets are only visible on sunny days. Those have been few and far between this month. Please visit the Sky Watch Friday site. There you will see other sky photos from all over the world! -- Margy
