October ended with the first snows and November started with clear skies and cold temperatures. Except for morning fog, the sky has been mostly cloudless. With only 8 hours of low-angle light, temperatures do not vary much from day to night. At our house the temperature has hovered between 8 and 12 degrees for days.
Often interesting cloud patterns are associated with spectacular sunsets, but I find these clear sky sunsets just as beautiful. And more peaceful. As the sun moves behind the mountains across Cook Inlet, the sky overhead deepens to a dark blue, then indigo. A thin band of orange forms over the mountains. And between the indigo and the orange is a perfect gradation of the color scale.
