Sublime and Beautiful Sunday As the Sun Sets at Fort Phoenix

before I get into todays post let me give an update on yesterdays blizzard, well it met the weather forecasters predictions, we got well over a foot and with the wind the drifts in spots in our backyard look well over 5 feet in places, we coped well we only lost power for about 4 hours so not to bad at all as some still are without power.
No photos of it as I haven't been out yet, well I did go out briefly yesterday evening to shovel some snow but it was still so windy and to be honest I struggled a little my Shoulder wasn't feeling good and I decided to be sensible, very unusual for me I know and wait till this morning, and I just saw a post on Farcebook of someone who will come and clear snow for a fee, waiting to hear back from them I may take the easy way out and pay someone to clear our yard, walkways and paths, as I am sure leaving it over night and with the temps around 10F -12C at the moment the snow is probably pretty icy now

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.

I do not get out to often to catch sunsets, this is one from a couple of weeks ago or perhaps longer, and I always find a sunset, or sunrise over water special and beautiful, and what is perhaps sublime about this post is that I have the photos finally ready to share, but let me first share the first photo and then explain why

These shots were from a walk at Fort Phoenix in Fairhaven one evening, an almost full moon in the sky

Now I thought I had some issue with a sticking key on my keyboard or some issue with lightroom, as as I was scrolling through my photos in lightroom the tint or temperature on the photos was changing every times, I cleaned my keyboard, disconnected my tablet, shut down the computer and restarted and it still kept happening, driving me a little bit crazy, well crazier than I already am :)
I must have spent an hour or more readjusting the tint o these and other photos and trying to work out what the heck was going on, and then Like a light being turned on it became obvious to me what had happened.

Our grandkids come and spend time here with us once or twice a week, and the grandson come sup to my little office and plays on the PlayStation and on my computer, and must have rearranged my desk a bit last time he was here and I did not notice that the cable for the mouse had been moved so it was running over the Loupedeck editing console I have running against the tint and Temp control wheels.
Duh did I feel stupid that it took me so long to work that out, but now feeling sublime and happy I have and can finish writing this post.
So back to my walk that evening, Looking over the green field a beach of the the left and the moon in the sky

As I was there early before the sun was due to set, I took a stroll along the beach not taking many photos getting some steps in, when I got back to the same green field as the previous image but the ducks and seagulls had laid claim to the field, the sun coming down and some colors coming out in the sky

I walked along to the Hurricane Barrier that curves out and meets the Hurricane barrier walls from the New Bedford side

As the sun was about to set the colors started to come out nicely

And then faded away and I wondered if that was all the colors Mother nature would give us that evening

But clearly she had more for us as the sun dipped below the horizon the colors came out even stronger

Leading to this last shot, looking over the Gateway in the Hurricane walls for boats to pass through, I liked the mix of warm colors and dramatic clouds at this time

the temps around 10F -12C at the moment the snow is probably pretty icy now

Nowadays we have unusually warm temperatures (currently 9 °C, 48.20 °F) in Hungary. The weather is sunny, but currently there are strong cold winds, so it feels as if the temperature would be much lower. I am happy for the warm temperatures (compared to the January average).

Have a nice day and have a nice weekend.
All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

with the winds here the real feel is -6F -21C and the high today is 26F -4C so my plan is to stay indoors and warm :)

PIZZA! PIZZA!

Great photographs @tattoodjay. Like the last one the most. The bright yellow and the almost silhouettes of the gateway in the hurricane walls. Beautiful.

Funny that sometimes things are obviously and you don’t think checking it first. That the grandson had moved things around, causing the tint and temperature to be way off. Luckily you found it.

I heard there was a big storm heading your way, and yes why not pay somebody to do the snow clearing. Especially when your shoulder hurts. Hope it will be well soon. Take care.

thanks and yes was a silly mistake, but one i know now, and actually changing that device out for something else tomorrow so hopefully wont happen again
MY shoulder is fine, but i know if I had kept going ti wouldn't have been :)

Sounds like a plan. Hope it is solved by exchanging.

I know what you mean. I have a bad back, luckily I know what I can do and can’t. But stubborn me doesn’t always listen… lol

Ohh I used to seldom listen, but getting better as I get older

I have ordered a new version of the Loupedeck that I had been thinking about lets hope it doesnt cause me the same issues

Yep 😉 it’s “that getting older” bit… I know.

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Thanks

👍🙂👍

Lovely photos as always, JJ, and I love the last one most for the same reasons you said - the mix of warm colors and dramatic clouds.

I know such wrong colours too, but in my case it was a minitor cable that wasn't plugged in correctly, and it took me also a while till I figured it out 🤣


Cheers with !PIZZA and !BEER

On Friday, my wife was watering the flowers above the monitor in her office and dropped some water on the monitor. Right after that happened, a white vertical line was moving from one side of the monitor to the other and back and so on.
If the line is still moving tomorrow I will ask our IT support for help, but I will not tell them the cause ... 🤣 !LOLZ

Wow! Those skyscapes look magical. What a contrast between the two images -- the one with the ducks and the one above it. Stunning!

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

Beautiful photos. That sunset just got better and better! That normally happens when I get back in the car to head home! I always miss them!

That has happened to me so often, thinking the best is over and heading home then the sky light sup, so annoying lOL

Chuckled at the comments on your grandkids moving things around. That happens, yep, we’ve been getting used to that having recently become grandparents ourselves.

LOL yeah but we love them

and it did push me to go ahead and order the Loupedeck Live which I had been thinking about for a while, how I plan to have that siting the same problem wont arise

The Loupedeck looks like a great piece of kit, must be really cool to use !

Great 😊

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

Well. glad you have your cabling issue sorted out. That's one of the thing I usually look for because my wife like to clean the stuff on the desk and sometimes also messed up my connections.

Yeah something so simple drive me nuts lol

heeeemmm I'm swept away, with the view that you show this time,, I can only say, this is perfect... hopefully healthy always buddy @tattoodjay

Hive Power Up Day - February 1st 2022

I love the last one too, but, the fourth from last is my favorite, the sun barely peeking still.

Your colors are so warm and wonderful. It is all I have to call warm today. Baby, it's cold outside!

PS... later in the week will be 55! Hello? Crazy weather!

Thanks for your feedback always good to know what people like

It’s just above freezing point now so not to bad especially compared to when I was out shoveling at 6AM that was cold

And we have three days in the 40s with rain coming up will clear away some if the snow
