This is the second part of the sunset post that I did 2 days ago.
I told you that it would be different, so come and enjoy the views.
In the previous post I focused mostly on landscape views of the sunset, and in this post now I concentrated more directly on the sun. Ever so slowly the sky started to turn into a dramatic red color and a strong wind was also moving the darker clouds along at a strong lick. Thankfully, we had a grandstand view next to a road that ran over the top of a hill, and so there were no obstacles in the way, as one could see the ocean on the horizon.
An ideal spot to take sunset photos.
This was what it looked like previously.
Look at the change the sky started to take on, a deep red color when I zoomed in.
A strange band appeared at the bottom of the sun's orb.
Ah! It was a strip of cloud at the bottom.
Here is a zoom of the previous shot. The sun started to drop down through the strip of cloud.
Then the dark started to set in.
And here was a final shot before the sun disappeared.
A final unzoomed shot showed that the show was over.
An amazing tapestry in the sky, of colors, clouds, and force of the wind shifting the clouds across the sun's face. To see it with the naked eye was so much better as it really kept my eyes trapped. But I hope that the camera work was not too bad, and that it can give you a fair idea of what things look like out there. A heavenly charade of beauty that one does not often see, and we truly enjoyed it.
No artist can conjure up anything like this, as Mother Nature is the supreme artist, and she inspires so many of us to also create on canvas and with cameras. We find a deep peace when we watch these scenes unfold around us. We can't wait every day, to see what is in store for us and for the camera. No matter how hot the day may be, we so love to wait for nature all around us to show itself. What a blessing.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
