Two of my daughters gave me blogging lessons today. I hope this will help me in entering a few things and maybe even getting a picture posted. The fun thing about this right now is that I am not typing anything. I am just speaking and letting my speech recognition program do the typing for me.
Before I check to see if this will actually be put in in my blog. I think I'll try to add a couple of pictures. These are two pictures that we took while returning home from a quick trip to our mining property in Millard County, Utah. The sun was just setting, and we enjoyed watching a spectacular sunset. We also noticed in the eastern sky something that was a total surprise. I had been familiar with, what are called crepuscular rays. These are rays of light and dark sky that diverge from the point where the sun is setting. But these rays were in the eastern sky. Exactly 180° from the setting sun. For some reason it had never occurred to me that crepuscular rays could be seen in the eastern sky when the sun was setting in the west. With a little internet research, I learned that the rays that are in opposition to the sun are called anti-crepuscular rays. The mystery was solved. Hopefully, you can see the faint light and dark rays in the photograph. So much for your meteorological lesson of the day.
Now let's see if I can get pictures up. Well the pictures are up - at the top - not at the bottom where I expected them to be. But, hey, it's a start ! The anticrepuscular rays (I love that name) are at the end of the white line in the road, if you just continue it on to the mountains. Can you find them?
Thanks to my son, the pics are now where they belong. At the bottom. I think I'm through for the night. Bonne nuit.
