Orange sunset

BEAUTIFUL!! DRAMATIC!! SPECTACULAR!!
... (you get the idea) 
I wish photographs could capture the atmosphere better sometimes. This one comes close.)

And when I walked closer, standing under the trees I saw this beautiful sky:


This time of year, the sun sets further South along the mountain ridges, 
off to the left of the original sunsets I posted. 
These 2 photos were taken from a different vantage point, in Wilkes-Barre, not all the way down in the Wyoming Valley near the Susquehanna river as usual, but from a little higher altitude.

Autumn mountain view

Here's a more recent view of the mountain range(see the last post in Lackawanna County, PA, that had purple flowers in the foreground.)
BEAUTIFUL Autumn colors!
This is taken on Sept 29, 2013.  It's a little higher altitude than my mountains in the Valley.


 Another bunch of color just off the highway.


You can see the colors are not so far advanced, or dramatic yet, in the valley area
as they are higher in the mountains, just North of the Wyoming Valley, PA.
Here's my mountain:
