The Most Beautiful Commute










Awhile back I checked the weather forecast on Accuweather and noticed that the following Tuesday the weather was expected to be "dreary". As one of my musician friends commented, "That sounds like an editorial comment". He's correct, of course, but dreary does describe a very common type of Puget Sound weather. If you've lived in this area for any length of time, you are familiar with overcast days in which no rain ever falls, but the layer of clouds is dense and gray and constant.

However, we also have those rare days when the sun breaks through the clouds and the combination of clouds and sun create spectacular sunrises and sunsets. I have started carrying a camera in my bag just for these fleeting images that last for minutes but have an impact that last all day long. On those rare occasions I imagine that I have "The Most Beautiful Commute" in the world. I have posted these images above. I hope you enjoy them.
