Ra the sun god can also
stand for Right ascension
a celestial coordinate term.

In this top photo is a little nub
poked up on the right. That
is Augustine volcano as
seen from 110 miles away!

Photos taken with a
Nikon D7500

Around 4:40 PM and
about 15° deg F. there was
a bit of a inversion layer.

These sunset photos were taken
a few nights ago out by where the
Kenai river meets the
Cook inlet in Alaska.

Low tide, a bird in
the distance, the edge of
Iliamna volcano just starting
to appear on the right.

Some negative and
grey shades.

All of my photographs are
taken hand held. I've been
thinking of getting one of
them spider looking tripods,
the kind that the legs bend
in all directions lol

Majority are also right off
the camera, no fuss no muss
unless otherwise noted.

Like this sunset, it's
only resized due to our
internet limits, the mega
sizes are out of the question.

These photos are
much larger when clicked
to see the fuller views.

Great sunsets. I have only been to Alaska once but I loved it.

Thank you Steven, what parts of
Alaska did you get to see?

Just fishing trip. So didn't see a lot.

The photos are marvelous! Love them! And that little thing with RA (sun god) and R.A. (Right Ascension) is so cool! I can't believe I've never noticed that before! Love little twists like that! 😃

Thank you so much @thekittygirl!
So many twists, so little time.
RA seems to be in many names of
places with some important ancient
structures and alignments.
Words are a trip too :-)

Howdy tonight shasta! What marvelous pictures, they're all wonderful, peaceful, relaxing and pefect! lol. great job.

Good evening @janton, thank you!
It was, but it was also very very cold! :-)

howdy again shasta! yeah it DOES look cold too. I probably asked this before but how cold does it get there? Melinda was talking about 30 below in Wisconsin and that blows my mind! that's getting dangerous.

Good evening @janton! :-)
The coldest I've felt is -33° deg F.
That's minus with a big M, lol
That was around 10 or more years ago.
Can freeze your lungs, but makes for
fun to throw hot water in the air!

The night of the blood moon a few nights
ago it was +5, a few days later it is +40 today.

Howdy shasta! oh man...-33....what happens to the hot water when you throw it in the air, don't tell me it's ice before it hits the ground! How do you protect your lungs? you need an oxygen mask or something.
