sunrise/sunset

It’s hard for me to see a sky like this and not run to grab my camera. A sunset this beautiful almost seems too good to be true, like I need proof that it actually happened or no one would believe me. It’s amazing that something that happens everyday, like the sun going down, can still manage to produce such a spectacular scene. It’s ordinary and extraordinary at the same time.

I’d love to see some more outstanding sunsets or sunrises. Leave your examples in the comments!

  6. Pam Love this pix. I took one of the same sky or one like it about one month ago. I too love these evening pix of the sun going down.

  13. gorgeous sweeping shot!

    i have to say, i loved sunsets long before i found a hobby in photography, but i seek them out even more now. i have a friend that i used to meet up with over the summer almost every night so that we could take pictures of the sunsets. last night on the way to the grocery store, there was an incredible one, and i was kicking myself for not bringing my camera along. it’s always when you don’t have it with you that you see the most picture perfect things.

    here is one of the better ones i saw over the summer. unfortunately, i was in a parking lot when i discovered how incredible the sky was, so it limited my photo opp. but i was still happy with some of the shots.

  33. Total coincidence that I took this photo last night, just when I needed to see such a gorgeous display. I wrote a bit about why, other than just being beautiful, this sunset was special for me on my blog. For me, something as awe inspiring as an unbelievable sunset, puts me and my troubles into place, reminds me of the greater whole that’s out there if I just open my eyes, and that every day is a gift. And even when I feel overwhelmed by whatever crazy things are happening in my life, its nice to feel so small next to something so grand. Perspective.
