The world is beautiful. The world is terrible. I like sunsets.

Fighting fascism one pretty picture at a time.

Wolverine Lake, Michigan.

Today for my #ArtAdventCalendar, another honorable mention for my Top 25 countdown: Canada geese coming in for a landing at sunset.

Thursday's moonrise. The color in the sky was spectacular.

Another batch of honorable mentions for my #ArtAdventCalendar and my Top 25 countdown: How about some lovely birds on sunset water?

Another Top 25 Sunsets honorable mention, ducks flying into the mouth of an enormous shark.

It's really the anvil top of a far-off thunderstorm, of course.

Let's get this year's Top 25 countdown and #ArtAdventCalendar really under way! This year's collection of some of my favorite sunset photos included 55 sunset photos. Apparently I'm bad at math. But it means some lovely Honorable Mention photos for all of you, so I doubt anybody's complaining.

We'll start with this lovely full Moon among sunset clouds.

If you're curious, this is what the sunset actually looked like. Still pretty spectacular.

I'm a day late starting up this year's #ArtAdventCalendar. While I get the rest of the calendar ready, how about a fun image to start with?

Usually the only enhancement I do on my photos is to try to get them to look more like what I saw. But I cranked up the contrast on this smoky sunset image and the result was a Code Pink emergency!

A chilly sunrise to kick off December. After the weekend’s snow we awoke to 13° F (-11° C) temperatures and a frozen lake.

Still sorting through this year's photos. Still being amazed by some of what I'm finding. Believe it or not, this is a color picture. Reflections on the lake.
