A room with a view...

Well my new blog is still a work in progress, I will be adding a new header soon and a few items to the side bar, but I think I like the simplicity of the design because I want the posts to be the main focus here.

I am sooo anxious to post some photos, so I thought to kick things off I would show you a couple of pictures that I took recently from my house.

This first one is the view of the sunrise out of the picture window upstairs:



It is hard to make out, but the tips of the Grand Tetons are back there just beyond those foothills. On a perfectly clear day they are a lot easier to see.

Here is a photo of the sunset from that same day, taken from off of my back deck:


The way my house is built, I can sit in my living room or dining room and see in both of these directions, because the windows upstairs face either due east or due west, which is quite nice.

I suppose having these views does make it a bit easier to endure the long winters and I am rather proud of these two photos, since I am very much a novice photographer.

Do you have a view of the sunrise or sunset from your place?

Awesome Chelle - great to see you branching out into the world of photography - watch out it's addictive.

I like the simplicity of your blog layout - gives the pics more emphasis - though they could be a bit bigger (but not too big).

I have a couple of post with the sunsets from our house. This one McLeod Bay (hope that link works). The last pic is from our house, the rest from our driveway or the road.

Treehouse, thank you! I am already addicted and can't wait to adventure out more. I am going to pop over to see your sunsets now, thanks for posting the link!

Graham, oooh I can't wait to see that picture.

I am so happy that you got to visit the Amazon!! It is one place I would love to see in person, too. :)

I love this photo the best. Probably because I myself love taking pictures of sunsets. :)

Awesome job on your new photo blog. And good luck! Looking forward to see your blog and your photography grow! Im bookmarking this. :)

I have some of the most awesome sunsets in the known world from my front porch. Maybe I'll send you one.

(but you'll be sooo jealous!)

theoffendedblogger said...

Don, maybe I'll have to drive up and sit on your porch and take some of my own pics to help curb my jealousy hehe. :D

Drowsey, it is my favorite one, too! I was amazed at how well it turned out too, to be honest. :)
