This pair of photos was taken about 10 minutes apart while I waited for something to happen at Wonder Lake in Denali National Park. Unfortunately, not everyone waited until the last possible moment. They was a non existent sunset and figured nothing was going to happen. Oops! So here is the rule for the new year: if you are waiting for sunset wait the whole time, don’t leave early because you are hungry or bored or impatient. My best sunsets have occurred when the sun poked out just at the horizon and lit the sky up with fantastic colors. Slow down, take a breath, relax. You may just get lucky!
