Sunsets from the Balcony

Sunset from a Parking Garage!

2008-02-29T11:38:00.004-05:00

Overlooking Harrisburg from the Walnut Street Parking Garage. Truly a beautiful evening, and a great view of one section of the city. Joel also took this picture. (Abby's been very busy, and working many evenings, so Joel's had the camera more than she has!) This was taken on February 16, 2008.

Winter Sunset in a Small Town

2008-02-29T11:35:00.002-05:00

Joel was on a run, and he had the camera, and took this photograph in our small town. A wintery evening on Valentine's Day!

Christmas Eve Sunset

2008-01-02T20:14:00.001-05:00

We haven't spent all that much time out on the balcony lately (but at least we're getting out and about and having fun in life---and having great fellowship with family and good friends!). This picture was taken at my Uncle's farm. We watched the gorgeous sunset all the way from my parents' home to Uncle Terry's farm, and we were so glad we arrived and parked before the sun totally set. We (as a family) decided that it was like a Christmas gift from God! How beautiful!

Another Beautiful Neighborhood Sunset

2007-12-05T19:03:00.000-05:00

This photograph was taken yesterday--by Joel again . . . out on another run, chasing down a good train picture. I thought this was absolutely beautiful! What beauty I miss when I'm fixing supper! (But the family is grateful.)

Along the River

2007-12-05T18:59:00.001-05:00

Scott took this picture (not from the balcony!). He and Anna had taken a little excursion (more about that on my blog). They stopped by the Susquehanna River, took a closer look at the miniature "Statue of Liberty" there, and took a few photographs. I thought this one was worthy of publishing on this sunset blog.

On the Outskirts of Town

2007-12-05T18:52:00.000-05:00

It's getting cold here in Pennsylvania, and the girls have not been out on the balcony much, especially when the sun is setting. Abby's usually either getting ready for work or at piano lessons at that time. But Joel has continued his running (he runs cross country and wants to stay in shape). When he hears a train, he usually grabs the camera and heads out the door. Still working on getting a good shot of an engine at night (that obsession with trains runs in his blood . . . from both sides of the family---from the males, anyway!).

I was looking at some of the pictures on the camera and came across this one. How beautiful!!!! it was taken on the outskirts of town last week (late November). I get more excited about a photograph like this one than I would of a train engine!!!

Another taken from the moving car, . . . . .

Another one of Abby's pictures taken from the car window. Just beautiful! If people choose not to believe in God, whom do they thank when they see such beauty around them? And just to think that the beauty we see here on earth is just a teeny taste of what our Father has prepared for us to experience for eternity!

On the way to visit friends, . . . . .

Traveling again (so not from the balcony . . . ) what a beautiful drive that evening! (November 2, 2007) in York County, Pennsylvania. Abby took this picture from the back seat of our moving car. She did roll down the window, and we were pleased at what she was able to capture while traveling!

From the Bleachers at the Football Game . . . .

2007-09-28T21:59:00.001-04:00

Scott and Abby and Joel were at the football game at the park when the sun was setting tonight. Different view, but beautiful just the same!

September Sunset

2007-09-13T20:35:00.000-04:00

Abby's been working many evenings lately, and we've missed some opportune moments for sunset pictures. But she was on her balcony last night with the camera. What beautiful weather we're having, which gives us gorgeous days and beautiful evening skies.

EXCEPTION! Beautiful! But taken by Joel, and not from the balcony!

2007-07-25T21:48:00.000-04:00

These are two beautiful sunset pictures, but they aren't from Abby's balcony! We were on our way home (north on Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania) this past Sunday. Abby was riding in my sister's car, but Joel was with us and we had the camera. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous, and Joel took these from inside the car, while traveling at a speed of 65-70 mph! (He wasn't driving!) I'm just glad that the dirty spots/streaks from the passenger window don't show!

The next day . . . . . .

This two-photograph series was taken on July 18th.

How beautiful!

A stormy October sunset in southcentral Pennsylvania

2007-06-04T20:46:00.000-04:00

Abby likes to take pictures in a series! She keeps snapping as the view changes.

This was a sunset in November 2006
