Catch Me If You Can - Sunset (FOTF) DSC_2517
This year the FFF+ have decided to have a monthly challenge called "Freestyle On The Fifth" (FOTF).
This month it was Margaret’s turn to choose the theme, and she chose “Sunset”.
This image was taken on the evening of my Mangrove tree expedition. On the return from Coronet Bay, we stopped for ice-cream at Tooradin where the river meets the sea. I was kind of hinting at hanging around for sunset but everyone was tired. The stupid sunset app predicted a 6 (out of 10) so I felt O.K about heading home and missing it. Around sunset I was looking out the car window and congratulating myself on the sensible decision of putting my family first. The sky looked uneventful. I closed my eyes to relax for a few minutes when the eye-roller said look at the sky now and started snapping away with her phone. I had that sinking feeling you get when you miss the opportunity for a shot when I realised we were not too far from the turn off to Westgate Park. Would I make it on time ? I asked if everyone was O.K with the detour. They were. Phew. So within five minutes I was running out of the car with camera and tripod, all fumbles trying to set up as quickly as possible before it all disappeared . The colours in the sky were the best I had witnessed in awhile. A beautiful ending to a lovely day.
Apologies it is not a creative sunset shot for the challenge but I am snowed under with work and my time is limited. I am also at a reduced commenting pace at the moment too. Damn this having to work business!
