   Summary Author:  Cindy Todd

   While hiking on the  Ontario Ridge Trail in  Pismo Beach,
   California, I observed the beautiful  sunrise featured above. It had
   been stormy for two days before I snapped this picture, but since the
   rain had stopped overnight, I decided to take a little hike and was
   glad I did as I was rewarded with a stirring sunup. Photo taken on
   March 12,2021.

   Bottom photo showing an i ridescent  sunset was captured from the
   terrace of my home in Bagheria, Italy, as mid-level clouds approached
   the Sun. Photo taken on February 5, 2021.
