Default Sun dogs and Sun sets

While going through a box of old photos I found these.

Sun dogs
Taken in Center Point, IA and I have no idea what year. I would guess 1997 or 1998.

Sunset in Center Point
Another from my parent's backyard maybe 2001

Sunset from our campground
Taken near the IA/MN border 2005 or 06 @ from our camp site during our annual canoe trip JUICE.

Great shots. I really like the lens flair in the first one. The colors are great in the 2nd and 3rd.

Nice shots. I haven't seen a sun dog in years. Love the colors in the sunsets.

Thank you everyone!

Hayward- I actually bought a cheap photo printer/scanner mostly for the scanner. I was going to just scan them at the kiosk in Walmart but once I got there standing there scanning 50-75 photos was much less satisfying then just buying my own scanner. And Thank you. Luckily these photos were still very vibrant, and in great shape.


Fred- I haven't seen a sun dog in years either. I saw it on the news in recent years but it's just not the same.

Thanks! I bet you have some great shots of Aurora Borealis. I've only seen it once by pure accident and it was all white. Not that it wasn't awesome. I missed it a few years ago when half of the lower 48 saw it in color.
