Description


For the last couple of months I spent quite some time on sunsets, in particular for reasons of inner peace and second for the challenge of capturing what the eye sees and the heart feels during a small time frame of about 5 minutes. I heard African sunsets are the best, but when I look at the captures all over the world, I beg to differ. So take up my challenge, whenever you see some cloud cover, go out there and let's see what you can capture.
To my American friends: Happy & safe 4th of July celebrations, keep your flag flying high, we lost ours!
Thank you for your very kind comments and visits to my previous upload. I love you all.

Tis a most beautiful sunset! Beautifully captured! All of the sunsets I have seen you post have been mind boggling. I have seen some might lovely sunsets here too, but buildings or other thing obstruct its beauty. I guess it is how much of it you get to see that tends to matter and touch your heart. Thank you also for the well wishes for July 4th. I still believe that America will survive, but it is truly in the hands of the American people to do the right thing and put away our differences, quite playing politics as usual, and love each other for we are all in the same boat. Of course that is not always reality!

Splendid atmospheric tones in this wonderful work, my friend! Looks like ominous clouds of chocolate. South Pacific sunsets are really nice too, Piet.

Outstanding shot and truely awesome capture. You are right, there are only very small windows at both sunrise and sunset. Thanks for the welcome back on my last shot. One of the things I've missed is geting to see all the awesome work of my friends.

A dramatic and romantic shot in one Piet, it looks like the sky is on fire but also like the clouds are going to rip open and drench the earth. A very good title to go with the image, very fitting. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!!

A super sunset capture. I am always amazed at how different the clouds are with their shapes and colours. I get better sunrises than sunsets here due to our position with the hills.

A truly beautiful sunset Piet. Makes me wonder what kind of weather caused these clouds.
