RED SKY in the Morning
Submitted by:
Linda at Fri May 27 21:08:01 2005 UTC
Before SunRise on Nov. 26, 2003, I had stepped outside just to check the
basic weather conditions. There was a pink-purple glow starting to form. A
new camera is a tempting distraction. I got in my car took a quick drive
to the Street which runs along the River across from Harrisburg, PA.
Morning Commuters were zipping by. During the next 20-30 minutes, this
intense RED color developed. .
Two days later my Daughter called and said, "Mom, you should have seen the
SunRise on Thursday"!!
I said, "I did"!!
I saved the unedited camera files, fearing someone might not believe it
really looked like this.
I have photographed many, many River SunRises since then. i am adicted to
Beautiful Skies.

Fog Greets the Rising Sun as Venus Transit
Submitted by:
Linda at Thu May 26 17:54:01 2005 UTC
June 8, 2004 This long awaited event was finally happening. About 20-25
member of the Astronomy Club my Husband and I belong to assembled in an open
area behind the Club's Observatory grounds. Everyone had their telescopes,
binoculars, camera, camcorder, etc. ready. A dense fog refused to clear at
the scheduled SunRise time. Finally, about 20-30 minutes later the Sun had
risen about the thickest fog. Just for the fun of it I took several "hand
held" shot with my Sony CyberShot DSC F717. The fog had reduced the Sun's
intense brightness and I capture nice images of Venus crossing the Sun. (c)

Mammatus Clouds (1)
Submitted by:
Linda at Thu May 26 18:23:01 2005 UTC
Late in the afternoon on March 12, 2005, we had sleet/rain with very dark
clouds over Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. When the bright Sun popped out on the
back of our house, I was hoping to see a Rainbow out front. ..But, instead
these round bottomed Clouds were flying to the East. Apparently, several
counties away they had a nasty Thunder Storm with their sleet/rain event.

Oct 13, 2004 The early morning Weather Report was for "Increasing Clouds." I
like to walk along the Susquehanna River near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania just

Pink Belt of Venus
Submitted by:
Linda at Thu May 26 19:34:01 2005 UTC
March 3, 2005 MiddleSex near Carlisle, Pennsylvania. I was driving home from
visiting my Mother near SunSet. I headed into an area of farms fields
looking for a good horizon to watch/photograph the SunSet if it was of
interest. I could not seem to clear all the tree lines edging the fields.
The Sun set, I turned my van around - and there opposite the setting Sun was
a very nice PinKGlow - the Belt of Venus glowing over the Blue-Gray Shadow
of the Earth. So.... I snapped a few images. (c) Linda M.Sweger 2005
