Lovely shot!

You're welcome Gnomey.
Glad you're enjoying the new pictures. =)

I've been doing this for years.
Moved back here in 2009 and have the sunset pics to prove it.
Here's the oldest one, dated Oct. 9, 2009...

Don't want to hijack your thread, but just as a contrast, this is how some sunsets look if you live in a country as flat as a pool table:

Thanks Elvis.

Glad you brought that up, Marcel.
I was downloading some other pics off my phone yesterday and realized I still had a couple of sunset pics on there that I don't think I've posted here yet.
...so, sorry for the delay folks...

...from the 14th...

...from last night (16th)...

The weatherman says rain for the next 7 days, so it might be a while before I make another post. Time will tell.

Partly inspired by Elvis I shot some snaps with the phone on the way to work this year, in sunrise.

Same clock hours (more or less) but diferent light due hour change.

The ocean vastness.

Bonus pic, while walking the dog:

Wow, those are nice, Azul.
I love sunrises. I wish I could get some myself, but that view is blocked by trees and hills.
Maybe I will find a spot soon and get some sunrise pics.
Thanks for posting those. Truely breath taking.

EDIT: Just remembered, I do have one sunrise picture. Taken Sept. 8, 2004, this was taken off the back of a ferry boat as we were leaving Elliot Bay.....

Sunset over Pompey (Portsmouth), UK June 2007.

Amazing shot of Jupiter. Must've be some telephoto lens you got.

So is that a local thing, calling Portsmouth "Pompey"?
Nice picture, btw.

Yes, local as in England but why, well this site gives a number of reasons. It is a naval town and that is what I associate it with.
