december at the beach

sunset gallery wall

If you follow me on Instagram  you will know that I have a little sunset project going on. For the last 6 months I have been taking a photo every evening of the sky. We've had an unusually dry fall and winter which means I've been table to capture some really amazing sunsets. But even the days that are grey and overcast, I still take time to snap a shot. This practice of making time to capture the sky every single day has really made me appreciate and look forward to such a simple pleasure!

The result of this little photography project is a collection of all kinds of beautiful photos that each have very special meaning! So I decided to gather my favorites and create a gallery wall in our entry way. My plan is to add to the collection over time. 

Since I have so many photos to display, I didn't want to spent lots of money on framing so instead I used wood painting panels. 

Using Mod Podge, I mounted the photos to the blocks and then hung them all over the wall.

Last month I shared HERE why I think winter is the best time of year to visit the Oregon Coast. Since that post we've had an amazing run of beautiful but cold weather. With that weather has come some beautiful, mind blowing sunsets...like every evening! And while the sun sets at 4:38pm, the beauty of these sunsets make the short days worth it. Every evening we head down to the beach and watch the sun drop into the horizon and its become a little tradition to capture the sky with our cameras. Taken only with my iphone, I've managed to gather a collection of sunsets. Here are a few of my favorites:
