NORTHERN LIGHTS ALERT:

We are seeing the cloud cover over the #Northland #clearing from west to east, so the #NorthernLights will be visible for most of us over the next several hours.

Here's a preview of what they may look like, courtesy of Scott Gordon. He's in Mesquite, #Nevada.

The satellite over the Northland at 8:10 p.m. on November 11, 2025, shows clearing skies working their way from west to east across the region. This should allow the Northern Lights to be seen for most of us in the Northland later tonight.

A Sierra Wave Cloud at sunset over the Truckee Meadows in Northwest Nevada. From Wikipedia: "Known as lee waves, Sierra Waves form as winds hit the Sierra Nevada and are forced to rise, causing water vapor to condense as it cools and forming lenticular clouds on the leeward side of the mountain range."

#Landscape #Weather #Clouds #Nevada #Sunset #Sierra #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a thick line of clouds over a city. It is sunset so the clouds are a reddish color. The thick line of clouds begin in the upper right and extend to center left. From the upper, below the straight line of clouds is a clear wedge shape of light blue sky. Below the sky is a distant mountain range. Under the sky and clouds is a city with all the lights on as it is twilight. In the foreground, where the photography stands, is the top of a hill with a few sagebrush plants.

Went for a hike in Genoa, NV, with an artist friend of mine. Had a great time because: she and I have the same political/social views, and we are smart. Also we like each other's arts. We'd stop every 5 minutes or less to take photos. And we are always hungry. Perfection.

A river that reflects very blue sky and wild clouds leads to mountains where the clouds cast their shadows on. A narrow band of green pastures are at the bottom of the mountains.
