Color photo. A white gull floats in gently rippling lake water at the bottom of the frame. The far lakeshore it tree-lined, and above it juts the peak of Mount Rainier, shadowed on the left, brilliant on the right as it catches light from the setting sun out of frame. Above, the dark sky is full of wispy clouds.

Welcome to December, everyone! I hope all of you in the US had a lovely Thanksgiving, and were able to spend time with family, friends, and loved ones. Including leftovers, I’ve managed to have four Thanksgiving dinners which couldn’t be beat. 😉

Today is also Cyber Monday, and I’m having a holiday sale! From now through Christmas, you can get 10% off orders of $100 or more in my print store. Just use the code HOLIDAYS24 at checkout.

And finally, about today’s photos. We had a clear day yesterday, a relative rarity here this time of year, and I got out to catch the fading light and bring it back to you. I am an unrepentant sunset junkie, and high wispy clouds make them perfect.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 40mm f2

Color photo. A lake, reflecting golden sunset skies. The tree and house lined far shore is visible. On the left, the tiny silhouettes of people are seen, standing on the shore of the lake. Above them, in the distance, the peak of Mount Rainier is visible, catching the light of the setting sun, out of frame on the right. The sky above the horizon is golden, and shades to deep blue above, filled with wispy clouds. A prominent contrail leads in from the upper right to the center of the frame.
Color photo. Five ducks swim at the bottom of the frame, surrounded by gentle concentric ripples. Beyond them is a lake, reflecting the golden sunset. The far shore, lined with trees and houses, is visible at the top of the frame.
