Winter sunset, Lindsley Brook, Wolcott, Connecticut. December 3, 2019, 4:06 PM.

Beneath a partly cloudy sky the sun is setting behind the leafless trees of a winter hardwood forest. A couple inches of fresh wet snow covers the ground and most of the tree branches, sticking to parts of the trunks. A thick underbrush of leafless shrubs is also coated with snow. A small stream with snow-coated rocks runs through the middle of the forest, emptying into a large snow-covered mostly frozen lake beyond the trees. The snow is tinted gold where touched by the rays of the setting sun.

Pink and violet December sunrise, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. December 6, 2019, 6:54 AM.

We are standing a few feet uphill from the shore of a large lake that has frozen over and been dusted with snow. A mixed forest of leafless hardwoods, hemlocks and pines surrounds the lake. A wooden footbridge crosses the mouth of a small cove in front of us, leading to a grove of tall old pines and hemlocks across the cove. The cloudy sky is being tinted vivid pink and violet by the imminent sunrise. A few unfrozen patches of the lake below mirror these colors.

Hushed frozen world sunset. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. February 17, 2021, 4:49 PM.

Standing near the shore of a frozen lake. The ground around us is coated with an inch or two of snow that has melted and refroze, capturing small animal tracks and other details in the ice. The sun is setting over the wooded far shoreline, casting deep shadows across our miniature tundra. Leafless trees in the forest surrounding the lake are silhouetted in the light. The sky is filled with streaks of hazy thin clouds, tinted gold and orange along the horizon. The sun is an enlarged blob of bright yellow behind the veil of haze, creating an elongated bright reflection on the ice.

Pink and silver January sunset, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. January 4, 2021, 4:39 PM.

Banks of gray clouds are retreating eastward, leaving a swath of clear sky along the western horizon. The recently set sun is tinting that clear sky pale gold, while tinting the bottoms of many of the clouds a bright pink. We are standing beside a big lake, on a wooded rocky shoreline. A think skim of ice with dozens of melted patches covers much of the lake, a wide swath near our shore is completely thawed, mirroring the colorful sky. A forest of leafless hardwoods with a few evergreens encircles the lake.

Golden winter sunset, Giant's Chest, Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, Connecticut. February 15, 2023, 4:32 PM.

Coming out onto a cliff of coarse brown rock with numerous cracks and fissures. There are patches of golden brown dormant grass growing in many of the cracks. A forest of cedars and leafless hardwoods grows on either side of the cliff. The view is just appearing, some rolling hills and buildings a few hundred feet below. The late afternoon sky is a pale blue gray. Most of the visible sky is covered with a cluster of hazy thin clouds. The sun, setting behind the haze, is a large roundish blob of golden fire, painting the surrounding haze orange and yellow.

Fire and ice sunset. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. January 30, 2021, 4:50 PM.

We are standing on the shore of a large frozen lake. A leafless shrub frames the pic on the left. The visible shoreline to the left and across the lake is forest, bare leafless trees. The lake surface is frozen solid with several inches of ice thickness. There are numerous large cracks where the ice melted into pieces during thaws and then refroze back as one solid ice sheet. The sun is setting behind the trees in the far shore, tinting the sky around it and along the horizon gold. The rest of the sky is a very pale blue.

Pink and violet Winter sunrise, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. December 6, 2019, 6:53 AM.

We are looking down a small slope to a wooden footbridge crossing an inlet of a large lake. Most of the lake surface is frozen, a light coating of snow cloaks the ground and most of the ice. There are forests of tall pines on either end of the bridge. The rest of the forest surrounding the lake is mostly leafless hardwoods. There are many thin clouds in the sky. The rising sun is tinting them orange, pink and violet, reflecting on the ice which has no snow cover.
