Clouds in front of the sun at sunset. These are NOT solar Flares on the sun!!! Quite a remarkable sight.

I have framed many many photos at a local framing shop. The ladies there said the following photo is one of the best they have ever framed. I appreciate their compliment, but I suppose I don’t have their experienced eye for art. I like the shot, but didn’t think it was of such high caliber. You can be the judge.

The following picture of the sun at sunset was taken through smoke from western forest fires.

The following two pictures of the sun at sunset were taken behind clouds on the horizon, and “no” this is not Jupiter. LOL The stripes are clouds.

Astonishingly, my little Canon SX730hs PowerShot Pocket Camera has 160 power and took the following picture of Jupiter and the 4 Gallilean Moons.

From left to right they are:

Io, Jupiter, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto
