Is it because of what's in the air at any particular location? (I know we often get great sunsets here in Oklahoma City because we are seeing the sun and clouds through dust that has blown in from Texas.) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bob+Baron/W_3003188Moon.jpg.html --Bob (2 days younger than Howard)
