Joe Kirkish sent in today's series of sunset photos that he snapped on his way from his cottage in Copper Harbor, back to his home. He said he kept observing the changes in the sunset views as he drove along the shoreline and stopped to capture it at different stages, starting at his cottage, on to Great Sand Bay, to Eagle River.

Amazing how different it looks in different locations, with a lone swimmer at Great Sand Bay and a few dark clouds that seemed to threaten rain, which Joe said never came.

Joe's favorite photo is the fourth one, with the reflection of the sun in the mouth of Eagle River, as it's descending closer and closer to the horizon.

In the fifth and sixth shots, the sun is brightly coloring the sky and quickly sinking. Joe figures the two photographers in the fifth picture are serious about their picture taking, since you can see tripods amongst their equipment. I like the rocks in the sixth photo, both in the water and the ones that Joe described as artistically placed there on the shoreline by an unknown artist.

Of all the photos, though, the last one is the most interesting to me and I spotted it even before I read Joe's comment that the whitish part of the sunset shining through the trees looks like a face. You always hear about the man in the moon, perhaps there's a sir in the sun?

BEAUTIFUL!

I absolutely love these sunset photographs. Thank you, Joe Kirkish.

Interestingly, Eerie and Superior! Anyone notice the J-Low in the sky, in the second shot?
Nice review, too.

Thanks, Joe. These shots are spectacular!! Thank
you for sharing them!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHmazing!~ And I LOVE the face!~

If that's a face through the trees, it must be Cyclops because I only see one eye.... ;-)

That last one, the face, looks like George Washington. :-)

Yes, Alex, i see the J in the sky. What is that?!

My favorite is the shoreline sunset with the cairns in the foreground.

jbuck: The information I got is that the Palmer school is owned by an individual that was going to make apartments in it. The presence of asbestos shut those plans down. He now uses it as storage space for his personal belongings.
My cousin's daughter and her husband now own the little store. Was the big IGA store open in Palmer when you were there last?
