Burj Khalifa, Dubai on a hazy evening. Though haze is a bit of a nuisance, it actually adds a nice gradation to the skyline, especially during the golden hours & in a wide frame.
btw this is the first time I am roof-topping & had an interesting experience :)
Note: though it seems slightly tilted to the right, it might be because of the structure/angle of burj khalifa since there's a big cut in the middle & so upper half seems tilted, but actually it is straight (grid).

Posting 5 new (and final) pictures today.
We only got down to the beach for one sunset this time, and this was it. I think it was worth the 50-yard walk from the house.
Yesterday evening I took a drive along the west side of Haleakala. I was trying to get out of the huge grey clouds that covered the north shore and valley. On my way back I found this waiting for me. Luckily there was a place to pull off the road.

Winter geese fly toward San Joaquin Valley wetlands after sunset
These days photographing wild birds in California's Central Valley are frequently long. For me they begin about three hours before dawn, when I awake to a (very) early alarm, grab coffee and a bit of food, load my vehicle, and start out on a two-hour drive in the darkness. As I approach my destination the first color is coming to the sky above the Sierra, that is if tule fog doesn't reduce visibility to 100 feet or so! I pull in about a half hour before sunrise, set up camera equipment, and begin to work. At first I may make some landscape photographs, since it is often still too early to handhold the camera for bird photography, but soon the first birds fly up from the ponds. I usually spend the next three hours of so photographing birds and landscape — though the precise time varies depending on the conditions — and then I take a break in the middle of the day. By mid-afternoon I'm back, looking for evening photographic opportunities, and the pace of the work increases as sunset approaches. During the last few minutes of light a lot happens quickly, and then I photograph until the light is gone.
I made this photograph during that late period, following sunset, when lingering light colored the thin clouds above the western mountains. (My home lies beyond those mountains, a two-hour drive away.) Around sunset there is a period of coming and going by the birds. Geese may rise up from ponds and fly away, or flocks may arrive from distant points and settle in for the night. Often great flocks of cranes arrive just after sunset. The birds in this photograph are geese, most likely Ross's geese, approaching the wetland ponds from that western sunset sky.

Who doesn't like a little Bob Marley at the beach? Watching the sunset the other night, a guy in his pontoon boat drifted by, blasting Bob Marley very loudly...hence the link.
Sunset I saw while driving around in ontario, near Ottawa. I particularly like the cow posing for the picture.. :)
Last nights sunset just along the road from home. I had intended to go out and experiment with welding glass, but that failed and this arrived instead :o)

The high cloud gave the sky a fiery appearance for last nights sunset.
The picture is taken from Redpost between Totnes and Ipplepen and the hills on the skyline are southern Dartmoor which is some miles away
I was visiting a friend near Palmyra, Missouri today and on the way home I snapped some shots of the awesome sunset. This was taken somewhere in Marion County, Missouri.
*QUESTION: At the end of one of the sun rays is a lens flare. My question is.. is this unacceptable in any photograph? I know I'd prefer it wasn't there but I didn't want to ruin the picture by removing it so for now it remains. But if I were wanting to enter this in a contest or something.. would that be something that would be frowned upon in the professional photography world? My photoshop skills aren't that developed. I try to teach myself but it's a slow process. Thank you for any input or advice. I really appreciate it!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
