Yes, I intend to spend more time writing, less effort searching for photographs.
But this morning as I walked through downtown San Diego, magical light appeared right in front of me!

I live in downtown San Diego and love to walk around with my camera! You can follow Cool San Diego Sights via Facebook or Twitter!








It’s an entirely different quality than late afternoon light, isn’t it? More silvery, less golden…

I wonder why?

Umm. I went to Reddit, and read that the light is redder (= warmer, more golden) when the sun is closer to the horizon because the volume of air through which it must pass is greater than when it is higher in the sky. All about “Rayleigh scattering” and I hope that is clearer to you than to me!

During daytime the atmosphere between the viewer and horizon has warmed, changed density, so perhaps that reddening effect is somehow actually more pronounced around sunset…just a conjecture…

Awesome! I’ve actually considered moving back San Diego and living on Cortez Hill. Wyoming wintes are cold! What is the name of the hill of houses overlooking LIndburgh field?

That’s Bankers Hill and part of Mission Hills. Both would make fine places to live! Funny, I lived in Casper, Wyoming for a year. Cold is right! Frostbite-level cold if one isn’t careful!
