Long exposure sunset image taken overlooking Atlantic Wharf, part of the historic Tiger Bay in Cardiff.
Golden hour kisses the skies over the Mediterranean sea, as seen from a plane on my way to Rome, Italy.
Shot with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G lens, and processed in GIMP, with some tweaks in Photoscape.
The setting sun passes through thin clouds on a warm late spring evening. Three exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Effex Pro 2
Can we speak of our lives with intimacy
Let the stories and the pain unfold
A retelling of cries amid the lies
Or is it like trying to keep the memories inside
Like building the levee up further
To stop the incoming tide
We walk around with our heartbreaks
So many apparent on our sleeves
Often we just grin and bear it
We never learnt to say please
The silence becomes another person
We become adept at introductions
Passing the conversation over
Hoping they will take the lead
The hurt is carried like an old suitcase
One you keep under the bed
You only take it out on rare occasions
Like that leech left over in the jar
One you use when you need to be bled
To speak of your life with intimacy
Is to leave nothing unsaid
To unburden your litany of regrets
Is to flay the skin from your bones
Feel again those metaphoric thrown stones
And wish you were completely alone
Literally better off dead
You may be the only one left standing
But at least you can recognise who you are
The mirrors have shattered
And even your ghost cannot hide
It has been waiting forever
Until your shade showed another side

This image was taken in St.Mary’s churchyard, Eastbourne, East Sussex, in the UK. When I looked at it later, this poem came out, written in a continuous stream, as a response to it.
The only thing I can do is to leave it here and perhaps that is all there is to say, all that is needed to be said, while we find our courage to live well.
I have paired this work with the song “Ghosts That I Knew” by Mumford and Sons, as it is a song about coming to terms with loss and haunting regrets, which is what I felt when I took the image that accompanies this poem.

As the sun sets low on the horizon, Edinburgh is bathed in a warm, golden light that casts long shadows on the city's streets. In this striking silhouette scene, pedestrians, backpackers, and cyclists are captured against the backdrop of the glowing orb of the sun. The tram tracks glimmer as the light stretches across the scene, while chimney stacks glow in the distance. Winter tree branches are ablaze with fiery red hues, as if the sun itself is igniting the city. This image captures the energy of Edinburgh at dusk, where the rush of city life meets the calm beauty of a setting sun.
I made this photo merging forty-four 0.3'' exposures (one photo per second), with LR enfuse, to obtain a very long exposure of about 57.2 seconds, which created the "silk effect" of the sea :)

A sailing ship, a calm sea, a ruined castle, a harbour, a setting sun and a fabulous sky , what more could you want!
The wreck of the Khoula F lies rusting in the Persian Gulf off the south coast of Kish Island, Iran. She was build in Britain as the Empire Trumpet in 1943. After a series of owners she can into Greek hands just before she beached in 1966. The Greek ship, as she came to be known, is a popular sunset destination on Kish Island.

The sunset photo is mine. The window is a textured background which is not mine. I blended the sunset into the background and did some editing on the window and wall.
I walked down to the ocean
Sat on the cold hard stones
Saw the seabirds fishing and the sunlight glistening
Saw the daylight leaving....

Thought back to all the things I've seen
The people I know and the places I've been
The city skylines and the fields of green
It's a wonder I've made it home
All my life I've been chasing setting suns
I'm getting old and tired of chasing setting suns
