Howard said...: Like you said before, it's a lot less interesting without clouds. You're offerings yesterday were spectacular.; 10/27/19, 9:42 AM

Seems like maybe George W. wasn't all that far off the mark after all, eh?; 10/27/19, 10:07 AM

Ann Althouse said...: Click the "sunrise" tag to see the pictures from just a few days ago to see how much the sun has been moving to the right each day. The shapes of the buildings make it possible to keep track. I wonder when it will reach the smokestacks.; 10/27/19, 1:30 PM
Original Mike said...: "I wonder when it will reach the smokestacks."

A compass and a planetarium program will tell you that now. Or you could go out every day for weeks. Both are good.; 10/27/19, 7:38 PM
Art in LA said...: Get the LightTrac app ... it can forecast the angle of the sun. It’s useful for planning shots. For me, I’ll find the date/time a sunset lines up with a street or pier.

And yes, the sun moves quickly this time of year. Check out the analemma that’s printed on globes, or Google it.; 10/27/19, 10:53 PM
Art in LA said...: BTW, how do you estimate your sunset/sunrise times? Is it adjusted to your local GPS coordinates? I have an app on my Fitbit Ionic watch that tells me the local sunrise/sunset times. I haven't tested it to see how accurate it is though.

The LightTrac app should give you the local rise/set times.; 10/28/19, 12:08 AM
