Sunbow, Sunset, and Stoplights


When I posted another sunbow picture in November, I looked up sunbow and learned it is also called a sundog but the proper name is parhelion. I posted a nice one 8 years ago from Bryce Resort.


This yellow sunset was taken the same day as the first picture, January 1st. It was a good afternoon for clouds.


This stoplight scene does not have the romance of the first two but gives me an opportunity to mention a significant change for traffic coming into Front Royal. Ahead is a bridge over the South Fork which is being replaced. The new span is scheduled to open on Monday for northbound traffic. I'll probably use an alternate route for a few days while motorists adjust to the lane shifts.

  4. Sundogs tend to be elusive here, but I've seen them on occasion.
