Forthcoming Earth Picture Of The Day (EPOD) First sunset of the New Year 1st January 2014

I am over the Moon as I will be getting one of my photographs up on the EPOD (Earth Picture Of The Day) (APOD is Astronomy Picture Of The Day) EPOD comes from NASA.

I submitted a pic 18 mths ago.. heard nothing.. then today I get a very red faced embarrassed letter from them apologising for not contacting me . I said no worries.. and asked were they going to use it ? He said they have a cloud pic lined up for 1st March.. but he could put it up on their Facebook page on 1st March.

I sent back that I wasnt on faceless and wouldnt see it He asked if I had other photos !!

I sent 2 sunsets... he loved one and asked for the details.

I also said I had ice storms.. he said "Send me pics!!" I just have !!

About 10 mins later he emailed again ... loved my description and


My Sunset-Clouds one is going to be the
Earth Picture Of The Day on 31st March


We live on sandstone ridges and never see the true horizon but in mid Winter this is as close as it gets. This sunset on the first day of the New Year started as a soft gold and turned into a The Glory... a pink ladder of ever expanding beauty with the silhouetted "bones" of the Winter trees holding it in their arms .


I am delighted !!!!

I have had the APOD and the EPOD as links on my Desktop for 10 years. I visit for a photo fix and info fix daily.
