January’s sunsets

January 25, 2021 by spixl

January sunsets in Oaxaca are spectacular. Looking west, behind Templo de San José, Basílica de la Soledad, and the mountain Monte Albán sits atop, they often have me dropping whatever I’m doing, dashing out the door and onto the terrace to gaze — before the magic disappears into darkness.

Occasionally, the camera is nearby.

Oh! January 23 grabs me! But they are all spectacular! My outside oasis faces West and we also have some spectacular sunsets I will look for more now. As always, inspiring!
