I could present a lot of pictures taken last couple of days with the title „grey world nightshot taken at lunchtime“ but I prefer to select impressions of a „real“ Winter day with cold temperatures and a classic sunset. Porta Westfalica, Ostwestfalen, Germany
Nicht nur ein klassischer Sonnenuntergang kann für Stimmung sorgen. Auch die goldene Stunde hat das Potential dazu.
It's not just a classic sunset that can create a good atmosphere. The golden hour also has the potential to do so.
Wonderful Lofoten, this iconic shot was a must for me on the trip. Sadly we were not blessed with good light. But I think this is just as interesting shot as some of the classic sunsets and sunrises.
...from a couple of days ago. :)
I'm thankful that God has given me another day and woke me up this morning. :)
Savitr, god of the sun at sunrise and sunset

A big thank you to everyone who follows me, faves and leaves comments on my photos
"And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin' me strong" Doobie Brothers (Give me the Beat!)
The beach makes it's own music and rhythm and goes along way to freeing the soul and helping me to feel better when I'm blue.
Another of the most photographed places in Hawaii-Hanalei Bay with its iconic pier. It is known for its classic sunsets in the Summer. I really didn't get any of the classic sunsets during my two weeks in Hawaii. It was winter and apparently due to the trade winds, usually leaving dull grey clouds devoid of colour. However, there was a lovely glow on this evening as the sun dipped below the Napali Mountains and changed colours from pink hues and later a golden glow.
Out this evening with the camera and though it wasn't a classic sunset I think it still worked out okay
There are no set trails from Antelope Island Ladyfinger down to the water front, it’s an easy walk over some rocks and scrub brush. This time of year spiders were everywhere with some nets reaching 3 feet (1 meter). And the host spider on those nets are big, real big.
While low horizon clouds prevented a classic sunset, I still enjoyed the colors and the view.
Please no group invites. Thank you for your comments (or favs)!
Per favore no inviti a gruppi. Grazie per i vostri commenti (o favs)!
Taken at Crofty near Penclawdd on the estuary last night. I was hoping for a classic sunset shot but the clouds had other ideas although I think I prefer the moody sky! The fisherman had wellie boots on and I was fascinated to see the water just below the top of his boots - just wondered if he managed to keep his feet dry!
Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town and Table Mountain has been on our travel list for as long as we've had a travel list and so we decided to bite the bullet and go for my 50th. I was just getting back into photography but had been struggling with my Canon 20D and was hanging on for the new 7DII, which took forever to get released and only came out after our trip. After much deliberating and the final word from Mrs R (just buy the bloody thing!) I ended up with the 5DIII instead... lucky me!
Now, a place like Cape Town is not the best strategy to test out a brand new camera like the 5D as you can't easily go back and reshoot when you don't know it's full capabilities. However, the ever resourceful Mrs R had secretly pre-booked a half day photography course for us with a local professional photographer named James Gradwell.
This is one of the locations he took us to. Bloubergstrand is a suburb of Cape Town along the shores of Table Bay and about 15km due north of the city centre. We were hoping for the classic sunset shot over table mountain but the conditions weren't in our favour, however, these kite surfers more than made up for it. Although, ideal for kites, tripods don't fare too well in these conditions... one of many lessons learnt that day!
. . . Tonight I witnessed a classic West Lake sunset, with clouds, smooth water, reflections, and some action! As they say "It doesn't get much better than this"!
Have a great weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
The final minutes before the sun sets beneath the horizon of the Pacific Ocean in California. Surfers staying to catch the last rides of the day, I'm looking down from a cliffside view in north San Diego country saying amen and thank you as the mother father sun keeps keeps its golden eye on Mother Earth.

Taken in September during Nottingham Outlaws Photographic Society (nops.org.uk/) weekend on location in North Wales. This image of South Stack Lighthouse was taken on Anglesey along with twelve other members of the club. We had decided to meet up to take a classic sunset image, final shots of the day, then this storm came through and made for quite a dramatic seascape.

This was taken a little north of San Francisco. I was hoping for a classic sunset shot but as I was driving the fog started to roll in.... I hurriedly setup my tripod to take this shot, in next few minutes the entire scene was covered with dense fog.
Wales is deceptive. A bit like France in miniature it takes longer to navigate your way across it than even your frankest assessment of the map in front of you allows for. As we finished what passed for our breakfast in the Travelodge (our provisions not theirs) next to the old Severn Bridge we knew the 170 odd miles to the opposite end of the Principality was going to take longer than your average journey of this sort of length - but we should have added on a couple of hours for good measure. There were a lot of tractors making steady progress along narrow roads, where often we would find ourselves crawling to a halt as we waited for red lights to change to green. The highway maintenance teams of Wales certainly appeared to be fully occupied as we slowly continued towards Anglesey.
Mind you, there were plenty of distractions, and I'm not just talking about the beer aisle in Aldi at Abergavenny. Once we'd got past the environs of the Brecon Beacons I was in completely uncharted territory, and I liked it very much. Suddenly Builth Wells and Rhayader were real towns in handsome surroundings rather than simply names on a map. We stopped at the latter for a coffee and what was either an early lunch or a second attempt at breakfast. I don't remember which. I'd never heard of Clywedog Reservoir until I was gazing down at it from a thoughtfully placed car park. It really was all rather splendid. How on earth had I advanced into middle age without having seen these places before? It's not that far away from Cornwall.
Further north we persevered and for the first time there were dark brooding mountains on the horizon. I love mountains - I'd never seen a proper one until I was well into my thirties and I've been obsessed with them ever since. It's just that it's a long journey from home to see them, and my better half doesn't share my enthusiasm, which doesn't really help to be honest. We'd come for a three night stay near Caernarfon and the Snowdonia national park was to be our playground for the long weekend ahead - we were getting close. But before all of this our plan was to get to Llanddwyn Island on Anglesey to photograph Twr Mawr lighthouse.
By the time we arrived at Newborough Beach the February light was already beginning to fade, taking with it those beautiful mountains, which now lay to the south. While Dave and Lee stopped on the beach, distracted by what I still have no idea, I pressed on against a strengthening wind towards the island. A storm was due over the weekend and was letting us know early, shaking my tripod with every restless gust from the west. The cold wind coming in hard from the Irish Sea, the lack of time to absorb the place as the darkness approached and the sullen bank of cloud did little to help my composition and after a few shots I moved on and found another view. The famous lighthouse hadn't been a success. Sometimes you have to just walk away.
A year later I decided to have another try at the raw files I'd made that day. Lockdown in the UK has meant that some of our YouTube gurus have been producing rather more educational content than they normally would, and I hoped I might have absorbed something that would help me to revisit old images. I'd also invested in the Topaz utility suite, which is often helpful in removing indiscretions - camera shake in this case - and bringing a little sharpness to a previously blurry image. I'm afraid I'm a sucker for trying to grab 1.3 seconds in a gale and sometimes I don't get away with it. But those moving grasses were just begging to be captured.
So now I'm at peace with this image. I managed to catch the backdrop of those shadowy beasts of Snowdonia before the distant clouds stole them for good, and although there was none of that classic sunset stuff that you look for in a scene like this, it brings to me that sense of a big storm approaching. Storm Ciara did arrive later, and much of Sunday was lost as we decided not to take any silly risks with flying debris sailing past our rented cottage all morning, while we cowered inside with coffee watching Whisky Galore. It was brutal and the nation was advised to stay indoors. Sadly much of the time we'd planned among the mountains was lost to the storm.
We returned home from Wales on the Monday via the North West of England and the motorways. Despite the snowstorm it was a much faster route, but nowhere near as appealing. Next time I'll stick with the scenic route and get stuck behind all of those tractors again. But it'll be worth it.
Parked on a side track at Tamora, NE, a pair of ancient EMDs are looking great beneath a clear dusk sky on the evening of Sunday, September 1, 2024. To the left is an ex-Conrail GP8. Coupled to it is an SD18, originally built for the Chesapeake & Ohio before being repainted for the Indiana Railroad. Though no longer owned by CR and INRD, the two relics still wear their old colors.

A classic sunset photo from last week's hike.
This sandy beach was a perfect campsite on our North Karelia hiking trip last week.
A minor inconvenience was a bear warning issued to this site due to smell of an animal carcass. However, we didn't smell anything and didn't see anything so all was fine.
The only bears we saw on this trip were on the road to this area, about 10km away. There was a single mother bear with three cubs crossing the road (had to break hard to avoid hitting the cubs, they really don't look around when crossing a road).
