Sunset Over the USAF Academy

Thank you, Debra. XX

I am so glad to see you. i thought you had left us. Thank you for the very nice comment. xx

Thank you so much, Mindy. The AFA has a higher altitude and the sunsets are amazing. XXX

I thought about that, too. The red, white and blue with the stars. You are very observant. xx

Thank you, Gary. I am going back for those elk and deer, though. xx

Thank you, Michael. I love the AFA. The scenery and the animals are amazing. My husband graduated from there. XX

Thank you, Paul. I was in a position to get a good picture. At this altitude the stars and moon look bigger. Sometimes, Mars gets reported as a UFO. xx

It must be some unusual astrological event. I have never seen the moon come out with these two planets so clear. When it got dark, they were very clear. Thank you for the comment. xx

Thank you, Cheryl. xx

Thank you so much, Mark. x

It must be a rare event. Venus and Jupiter were right under the moon. It was gorgeous. Thank you, Jay. xx

Thank you, Nathan. I was having a great time taking pictures. xx

Thank you, Rose. Obviously, this phenomenon with the moon, Jupiter and venus is being seen everywhere on the planet. XX

Thank you so much. It is so cool that people all over the planet are seeing this rare phenomenon. xx

Thank you, Daniel. It was good to be out with my camera. xx

Thank you, lorilee. That makes three of us who noticed that the picture resembles the flag. XX

Thank you, Marie. The skies are beautiful at that altitude. XX

Thank you, Carlos. I appreciate your support. XX

Thank you. I didn’t know I was capturing an astronomical event. Thank you for the comment. XX

Thank you, Cazzie. I appreciate it. XX

Thank you so much, Sally. XXX

Thank you, Dawn. I hope you are feeling better. XX

Thank you, Ann. xx

Thank you. Everyone seems to be seeing beautiful sunsets today. XXX

Thank you, Shane. You are so kind. XX

Thank you, Nira. I stayed until it was dark because the skies were so beautiful at that altitude. XX

Thank you, Marvin. XX

Thanks so much, Samantha. xx

Thank you, Megan. I went to the PX and when I came out I saw that moon and two bright stars. I didn’t know it was an astrological event at the time. The AFA is a beautiful place with a lot of forest and animals. I love it there. XX

Thank you, Linda. I appreciate your comment. x

Thanks so much, Ellen. XX

Thank you, Jen.xx

Thank you, James. This is some astrological event where Jupiter and Venus appear just under the moon. In Australia, the planets are above the moon. Check it out tomorrow night. XX

Thank you so much, Rikki. xx

The mountain on the far left is actually Cheyenne Mountain. That mountain is the home of NORAD (now NORCOM). They watch the skies for missiles, UFO’s, or anything coming into the atmosphere. It was where the Star Gate was supposed to be on Star Gate SG-1. They used to show the entrance on the show. They always portrayed Colorado Springs as a small town full of hicks. NOT TRUE!

Thank you, Patricia. xx

Thank you. The altitude is higher up there so there are some beautiful skyscapes. xx

Me neither. I do have some Star Trek collectables that I got in Las Vegas. xx

Thank you so very much, Linda. XX

Thank you, Barry. It is beautiful at that altitude. xx

Thank so much, Anne. I hope your sore throat is better. xx

I’m glad you are better. I always use zinc for my throat. Cold Eze really helps, too. XX

Thank you, Trudi. XX

Thank you, Catherine. I’m glad I was there to notice. Several people from Australia posted pictures of this event. In Australia, the planets are on the other side of the moon. XX

I lot of my Aussie freinds sent pictures of this. The first thing i noticed was yours made a smiley face. Isn’t it interesting how things appear when you live on different parts of the planet? Your shot was beautiful. I’m glad you like my picture. Thank you for the comment. xx

Thank you, Malcolm. I was looking for deer and elk but managed to snag this sunset. xxx

Thank you, Pat. it isa beautiful place. xx

Thank you, Krys. Some Aussies sent me pictures of this astronomical event. The planets and moon were inverted to make a smily face. People all over the world noticed it. I didn’t know it was on this picture until I downloaded it. xo
