While on my long road trip in late July, I was taking pictures of sunrises and sunsets, posting them to Facebook while never knowing for sure if any one would be my last sunrise or sunset.
Now that I’m home, doing better because I’m finding things to do (including trying to get back to blogging daily and visiting the blogs of all my blogging friends), I can sort through the many pictures I took and share them.
Following are the sunrises and sunsets, their locations, and dates.
Sunrise in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
July 24, 2018
The bridge in the first picture is the London Bridge which was bought by Robert McCulloch of McCulloch Oil for $2.46 million and shipped from London to Lake Havasu City where it was reassembled and opened on October 10, 1971.

I call the first one “Clouds on Fire.”
Sunrise in Yosemite National Park.

The haze is smoke from the Ferguson Fire which started a few days earlier.

These last pictures all were taken on July 31, 2018, in Barstow, California, so I included the time the picture was taken. You’ll understand why I have so many sunset pictures from one night in Barstow once you look at them.

Wow, they’re all gorgeous, and while it’s hard to choose a favorite, the Grand Canyon shot stands out. 🙂

The Barstow sequence is great. I was there once, remember the skies were special. But there wasn’t much else there.

There’s plenty there for railroad enthusiasts like me! A historic, still great rail yard with trains going north, south, east, and west!
