Is it only me or does the sky just seem bluer in the fall in the northern hemisphere? None of my googling has rendered an explanation although I have found a few clues like this one “If I recall my Astronomy classes correctly, Earth’s angle from the Sun (approaching the autumnal equinox) causes light waves to travel through more atmosphere, causing more scattering of the light spectrum toward the bluer end.” Excuse my ignorance, but then wouldn’t that make Spring’s blue skies look the same as Fall’s?

Whatever the reason, October Blue is my favorite color…

My favorite photographer Bill Pevlor writes:

When people learn that I often get up and out while it’s still dark to try and photograph a sunrise, they think I’m a little kooky.

When I capture a scene like this and look around to see I’m the only one there to experience it, I think the rest of the world is a little kooky.

On this particular morning, as the sun began to rise, a small opening appeared in the sky over the Sturgeon Bay, WI lighthouse. Lake Michigan seas were calm that morning…

Bill is kooky, but so am I. I caught this image heading to the office at 5:00 this morning…
