Since we switched to daylight saving time, it’s no longer dark when I finish work. I appreciate the extra daytime, and I love the warmer temperature.

The only downside is that it’s not as easy to catch sunsets downtown anymore! I can no longer carry my camera with me and pop on Parliament Hill to shoot nice river sunsets after work. Or I have to wait until 7:30 pm… and frankly, after a long day at work, I just want to go home.

One of the good sides of Fall and Winter is the amazing skies, cloud patterns and sunsets we are having. I’m not sure why the sky is so interesting at this time of the year, but I noticed it is definitely different compared to the summer.

I was downtown, shopping around, when suddenly I realized the sun was about to set (at 4:30 pm, stupid Winter time!). I rushed to Parliament Hill to catch a glimpse of it and I spend over an hour there, watching the amazing colors as the sun set on the city. It was just magic.

Sunsets and clouds… the magic of Canadian skies!

These are my latest “Canadian skies pictures” I took earlier this summer. Beautiful sunsets, shades of blue, purple, pink and white and some beautiful — and unusual — clouds.
