Pink Set I Below
Pink Set II Above
Latitude 38 In winter everything turns pink. A bold statement perhaps however from someone who has watched the light for a few years I have noticed the sky, hills and even fallen leafs have a rosy glow to them this time of year. Or in this case the steam from the Chevron plant. I suspect it is because the sun is reaching its point furthest south and is low enough in the sky to refract light though all the particles in the air; fog clouds and burning fire places.
Well that’s my guess. what ever the cause I makes for fantastic photo. At winter Solstice the sun will set directly under the Golden Gate from my vantage point in the East Bay. Can’t Wait!
How do you mark the season’s light change?
Let me know what you think today.
Light Words 
Our sunrises and sunsets have such a golden glow at this time of the year. Lovely photos and good luck with your photos at the Golden Gate – look forward to seeing them.

Your latitude is pretty pretty close to the equator I see no wonder it is golden there 🙂
I hope There will be a Sunset that I can see for the Solstice.

Truly enjoyed the hues of the first two images. The palette gives a soft and inviting patina. Happy Photo Challenge.

I was tempted to use these images last week but they were too similar to your leaves from last week.
It is nice to just let texture speak.
Happy First Monday of Dec.

I like your post today and have included a link that may be of some use to you: http://www.sunsetsundial.org/
Utilizing Google Maps, this page will help you find a place to take a photo of the GGB that will put the sunset between the towers.

How fun to hop around the bay taking sunset photo 😀
I like keeping the myth alive that it’s only at Albany bulb on the winter solstice, Easy for me to get to and my friends come out for a viewing with me. You are welcomed of course.

Thanks for the invitation, Carol. Unfortunately we have plans that night. Perhaps another sunset?

Of course. We need to put our heads together about Hipstamatic, too. There are a massive amount of choices I’m finding.

I have selected the “Lock Classic Mode” in my settings file for the app. I can experiment in the field, view the results and keep the combinations that work.
I might go back to the editing suite sometime in the future, but for now I am content to learn the old-fashioned way.

Today we didn’t even see the sun. It was foggy all day and still is now that it’s dark. That makes the lovely color in your photos that much more appreciated, Carol.

I must admit we’ve had a lot of grey days lately too. the Sun does seem to get under the clouds at the end of most days.
Happy to share a little sunshine 😀

Love the color in those piles of leaves. Yes, we’ve had some great pink skies. I almost posted a sunrise photo I got a couple of weeks ago of pink clouds in the shape of a giant arrow! Maybe I’ll work that in another time. How great to see the GGB from where you are.

The cloud sounds wonderful! You are also welcome over for sunset any time. Just tell me when. We are at the Golden Gate field exit off I-80.
