Sunset Silhouette


The gradient from blue to pink  to orange in this photograph give a stark contrast to the black trees in the foreground of this Sussex, England view. 'Indigo Twilight' explains why sunset skies can turn purple!

The clear snowy landscape here shows a typical BC mountain. The Douglas-Fir trees to the right are native to western North America, otherwise known as the Oregon Pine or Douglas Spruce. Archibald Menzies first documented the tree on Vancouver Island where it is commonly known as Doug-Fir.
