Thanks to Linda and Ronnie Mason for these images… they write:
“This is one of the first pictures that I took of the sunset today, 01.16.09 beginning at 5:08 PM. We live on a hilltop on Cornelius Church Road in Buhl, AL near the Westervelt-Warner firetower (to the East) and near the Sipsey River (to the West.)
These shots are taken from our backyard.
I’m going to send a series of pictures that I took over a 5 minute period at sunset (and then my fingers got too cold to snap any more. When I noticed the lighting of the sunset, I had grabbed my camera and gone outside to snap pictures without taking time to get a coat or gloves–5 minutes was all that I could stand of the frigid cold.)”
