Occasionally you could be rewarded with a brilliant sunset at La Jolla beach.

Have a great week everyone :-)

Sandy Cove Beach, Kinmel Bay is a fine north facing sandy beach backed by a narrow promenade used by walkers and cyclists.

Adjacent to the promenade is Kinmel Dunes Nature Reserve, which is a rich dune habitat. You can spot spiky sea holly and marram grass, orchids, butterflies, common lizards and ground nesting skylarks.

It is a great place for nature spotting and activities such as swimming, sea canoeing and windusurfing, as well as paddling of course!

Grey seals, seabirds and wading birds can all be spotted from Kinmel Bay promenade.

October sunsets are special but due to recent cloudy conditions we have not seen many. It was worth braving the elements to get the shot. The icy wind off the sea was a killer, blue hands in minutes!

Threave Castle Sunset, back at Threave last night, the clouds were looking good, but as quite often happens, just as the sun falls, the clouds evaporate. A warm glow in the was to be had, i had wanted to try for a long exposure, but a gentle breeze over the river meant tonight the boat was moving, so no long exposure.

Here's another from that incredible sunset in Saguaro National Park, East, a couple weeks ago. This was without question, one of the most amazing and unique sunsets that I have ever seen. As Jill and I drove around the park, looking for a nice sunset spot, I actually thought the sunset was going to fizzle out. The sky wasn't really looking very good. Actually the upper part of the sky was pretty dull, but when I put on my big 300mm lens, and just went in tight on the horizon, it really came to life. This is one shot with the 300mm.

Yet another day ends in the jungle

The banks of the Red Deer River by Sundre, Alberta, can be quite beautiful, especially at sunset.

During a school trip in the last early April I overnighted in Cinquale, a lovely town on the Tirrenic costline of Italy. I went to the beach just in time to take some photos of this wonderful sunset.

The Haleakalā Observatory on the island of Maui, also known as the Haleakalā High Altitude Observatory Site, is the location of Hawaii's first astronomical research observatory. It is owned by the Institute for Astronomy of the University of Hawai'i, which operates some of the facilities on the site and leases portions to other organizations. Tenants include the Air Force Research Laboratory (on the left) and the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network. At over 3,050 meters (10,010 ft) in altitude, the summit of Haleakalā is above one third of the Earth's atmosphere and has excellent astronomical seeing conditions. It's also quite cold at sunset.

Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Yesterday afternoon I met up with the very talented local landscape photographer Lee Slabber... to shoot the sunset at Kommetjie's Slangkop lighthouse.

It had been raining for most of the day and I wasn't really expecting much. But bad weather is very often good for photography... if the sun does manage to break through the clouds for a few minutes... you're pretty much guaranteed to get some incredible light!

Although we both got completely soaked by a heavy downpour... the sun did pop out for a short while... and we did manage to get the amazing light that I was hoping for!

EDIT: My Flickr contact Mike Jones mentioned the one thing that was bothering me about this photo... namely the obvious distortion of the top of the lighthouse that was caused by the wide-angle lens. I didn't really know how to fix that yesterday... but I do now... so I've fixed the distortion and replaced the photo. Thanks Mike!

We finally had another epic sunset in Cape Town yesterday… one of those sunsets where everyone with a camera in their hands was pointing it up at the sky.

Of course I couldn’t resist popping down to the beach with my camera to capture it… so here is yet another shot of the “usual suspects”… the beach, rocks and that fantastic, iconic Table Mountain!

Please take an extra second or two to view this one large? There's just so much detail here... I feel that you could only truly appreciate it all when viewed full-screen. :)

Once again I apologise for not having any time for Flickr this past week… I promise to catch up with all your latest photos as soon as I have some more time (hopefully in the next day or two).

Have a great weekend everyone!

Desejo uma excelente quarta-sunset para você.

Not many can resist shooting the sunset when the sky is on fire.
