The Daylight Saving change may have cut the daylight a little shorter, but it also has made for some stunning early evening skies for those after-work commutes. Take a look at the some of the memorable skyline shots from Baltimore Sun photographers throughout the years, and some reader photos of recent skies.

Photo was taken from the roof of the Annapolis Marriott Waterfront, where a new wireless weather station was being installed. The new equipment will provide more accurate and detailed information for boaters and residents. (Amy Davis/Baltimore Sun Photo/June 27, 2005)
