In photography, the golden hour is the period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the sun is higher in the sky. This photograph of the golden hour sunset on Seventh Lake in Adirondack State Park was taken this summer by Audubon Nature Photography Club Co-president John Brustrom. The Club meets next on Thursday, September 9.

The Audubon Nature Photography Club is meeting on Thursday, Sept. 9, at 6:15 p.m., at the Audubon Community Nature Center.

Visitors are welcome.

The slideshow for September is a combination of both August and September. August themes were Humor in Nature and Dawn/dusk; September themes are At Work and Motion. September submissions are due no later than Wednesday, September 8, for inclusion in the slideshow.

The Lakewood Library has asked the Photography Club to display photos by members during the month of October. It is expected that photos will reflect Audubon: birds, animals, trees, flowers, landscapes, creeks/river habitats, etc.
