Skeppsbron is both a street and a quay in Gamla stan, the old town of Stockholm. Watching the sunrise at Skeppsbrokajen that runs along the street has a unique feel like no other. Here is a picture of how it looks like.
This is the same flower as the one I posted yesterday, but taken at a lower pov and with a different focus. Here the sun is the focus instead of the flower and I filtered it to bring out the sunshine. This might be what my friend Gunta has suggested to be a flowerscape rather than a flower shoot! Which one appeal to you more?
Chinese Garden (裕华园) is a park in Jurong East, Singapore. Built in 1975 and designed by an architect from Taiwan, the Chinese Garden’s concept is based on Chinese gardening art. One of its most photographed feature is the twin pagoda. Here is a picture I took this morning while doing my morning stroll. Great place for morning exercise.
It was a cloudy day in Kiel, undeterred I went for my morning exercise. When I was almost done, I saw the sky lited up in amazing colours and coincidentally an unknown sculpture was right next to me. This was what I saw! What do you think?
Arc de Triomphe is one of the most photographed landmark in Paris but it's full beauty is hard to capture. This is my first attempt to capture this magnificent landmark in its full morning glory!
Māui, “The Valley Isle,” is the second largest Hawaiian island. It is loved for its world famous beaches, sacred Lao Valley, views of migrating whales and the magnificent sunrises and sunsets seen on the summit of Haleakala Volcano. The origin of the island's name is found in the legend of Hawaiʻiloa, who is credited with the discovery of the Hawaiian Islands. According to the legend, Hawaiʻiloa named the island after his son, named for Hawaiian demigod Māui.
- Keefer Lake, Ontario, Canada -
For reasons only a skilled therapist could bring to light, I saw a dragon when I was photographing this sunset, hence, the title.
I suppose the title is a double entendre given my sunrise and sunset photographs of Keefer Lake might seem 'never ending' to my long term Flickr contacts.
The compression to our photos that Flickr applies blocks up the blacks horribly ... this prints with a lot of very nice shadow detail ... alas!
The Pinnacle@Duxton is an award-winning residential building in Singapore's city center. The project features the world's two longest sky gardens of 500m each, on both the 26th and 50th floors. It is the world's tallest public residential building.
Was having dinner at East Coast Seafood Centre. The row of restaurants is just on the right, outside of this picture. The restaurants have a direct view to the seas and a very pleasant place for dinning. I stood on the break waters for this sunset shot.
The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch located next to the Colosseum. It would be difficult to capture this Arch without including the Colosseum. The arch was erected in 315AD to commemorate Constantine I's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Melvin Bridge. Have a great weekend!
in harsh light, shoot in the shade or indoors; if hard shadows fall over the subject, pop some strobe in there. Do something interesting, make any lighting situation work for you-it can, if you do it creatively :-)

Sunrises and sunsets in Africa are unforgettable moments. Images that we are so fond of that are kept forever in our memories.
At the time I took this shot, back in 2013, I just had a D300 that I was using on a full auto mode, shooting simple JPEG’s. No full-frame, no filters, no tripod, no bracketing, no RAW files, no post-processing, etc.
Today, when I revisit those images I deeply regret that, because now there isn’t much that I can do to post-process them. But, even with all those limitations, some of them are so impressive in their utter beauty, that with the help of a new software that gives some extra latitude in post-processing JPEG’s, I’ve decided to post this sunset photo.
Looking at it, you will certainly realize why I’m so fond of these memories, even if the image's tech specs aren't stunning (a sensor of just 12 megapixel, limited dynamic range and ISO management, ...),

A golden moment at the Lakeshore pier on Lake St. Clair. The end of summer is fast approaching and I have had the opportunity to take in some very beautiful sunrises and sunsets. But, fall is one of my favourite seasons, with lots of golden colour.
If you are in a beautiful place where you can enjoy sunrise and sunset, then you are living like a lord.

During the day, the Pancake Rocks in New Zealand show themselves in very bright yellow tones. Only during sunrise and sunset they display their color splendor. However, you need some luck to enjoy these colors, because the west coast of the South Island is known for its torrential rains that can last for days and weeks of gray skies.
How lucky I was to have a week of good weather in the New Zealands autumn and be able to take a few pictures in the morning at sunrise at this iconic place, even though the sun rises behind the mountains of Punakaiki at this time of year.
If you want to spend more time with the picture: A sign on the circular path of the Pancake Rocks shows figures and faces especially for this rock, which you can visualize with a little imagination.
Tagsüber zeigen sich die Pancake Rocks in Neuseeland in sehr hellen Gelbtönen. Nur während des Sonnenauf- und Untergangs kann man ihre wirkliche Farbenpracht genießen. Allerdings braucht man etwas Glück, um diese Farben zu sehen, denn die Westküste der Südinsel ist bekannt für ihre sintflutartigen Regenfälle, die tagelang anhalten können und wochenlangem grauem Himmel.
Was für ein Glück, dass ich eine Woche lang im neuseeländischen Herbst gutes Wetter hatte und morgens zum Sonnenaufgang ein paar Bilder schießen konnte, obwohl die Sonne zu dieser Jahreszeit hinter den Bergen von Punakaiki aufgeht.
Wer sich länger mit dem Bild beschäftigen möchte: Eine Hinweistafel auf dem Rundweg der Pancake Rocks zeigt speziell für diesen Felsen Figuren und Gesichter, die man sich mit ein wenig Phantasie vorstellen kann.
Another HDR panorama of 6 shots from Lofoten, Norway.
Now, when I look at the photo I can see even more poetic feeling than I could see at the moment of shooting. Truly, the sunrises and sunsets are the best and just fabulous time for the photography.

Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends.
"Where the sky and the river merge ... Where the colors of sunrises and sunsets are brighter than dreams, where the Lord sees ..."
Prohodna Cave is one of the most famous and easily accessible caves in Bulgaria. It is located 2km away from the village of Karlukovo in a picturesque area with natural beauties and historical sights. The cave is a natural rocky bridge with a length of 262 m. There are 2 entrances - large and small. From the small entrance with a height of about 35 m, a path passes through the entire cave and goes through the big entrance (the largest cave in Bulgaria - 45m).
The cave is naturally illuminated by the huge entrances and natural openings in the attic - two holes. The holes that makes the cave unique. Located side by side, with the same almond-shaped shape, looks amazingly like huge eyes that seem to be staring at visitors. It is no coincidence that the local population calls them "the eyes of the Lord" and sometimes the "Devil's Eyes". Viewed at a certain angle, they even look like a face looking down, and in wet weather they seem to hey cry. Faced with this natural phenomenon, one remains amazed and slightly excited - the incredible symmetry and layout of the eye brings awe and a sense of mystery. The cave was declared a natural landmark in 1962.
Mount Kirkjufell and falls (Kirkjufellfoss) has been the place that was photographed by the countless people. Simply searching on Flickr alone resulted hundreds, if not thousands, of the photos taken at this place. No wonder it becomes an icon in Iceland. However, I can hardly find two photos identical. By rendering various sky, clouds, sunrise and sunset conditions, mother nature let us take a photo at an unique moment. Probably, this is the reason why people continue taking their photos at this iconic place years after years.
There is no "night" at this time of the year in Iceland. Sunset was at 12:00 am and sunrise at 2:30 am. The photo was taken around 11:30 pm.
In the heart of Northern Europe, I've been discovering the wonders of the world, one frame at a time. For nearly eight years, my Nikon camera has been my loyal companion. We've shared countless sunrises and sunsets, braved storms, and celebrated the quiet peace of a snowfall. This camera isn't just a piece of equipment to me; it's an extension of myself, a tangible piece of my soul that lets me capture the world as I see it.
Any season has its own photographical highlights. In the spring time, these are blossoms, sunrises and sunsets during the summer and in autumn fog and the colours. The winter is standing for minimalism, because during the winter in nature all is about to reduce everything to its necessarily minimum to keep enough recources for a new start in spring. If anyone of You is wondering if I deleted the sky, I didn't. On that evening sky was probably sold out, the same as colours.
Jede Jahreszeit hat ihre fotografischen Highlights. Im Frühling sind es die Blüten im Sommer die Sonnenauf- und -untergänge und im Herst die Farben und der Nebel. Der Winter steht für den Minimalismus, denn im Winter geht es in der Natur darum alles auf das nötigste Minimum zu reduzieren, so dass im Frühling genug Reserven für den Neustart da sind. Falls sich jemand von Euch fragt, ob ich den Himmel gelöscht habe, nein hab ich nicht. An diesem Abend war der wohl gerade ausverkauft, die Farben wohl auch.

For well over 40 centuries these two trees have weathered every sunrise and sunset together - the good, the bad, the non-descript. There is talk that climate change will accelerate the end to that run - a distinct possibility - but, I think that these two have more perspective than we humans do.
Bristlecone pines are survivors; they live in some of the most inhospitable environs and endure because others cannot. So, while they do not pre-date human history, they very well may live beyond ours because they have adapted to embracing life on the edge.
Congrats on Explore!

This was taken at Maximilian street in Munich. The street was named after King Maximilian II, King of Bavaria 1848-1864 and in this image you would see the sunrise against the statue of King Maximilian II.
Sunrises and sunsets in Botswana are often magnificent. It is truly an untamed paradise where wilderness prevails, not big cities or big concentrations of people.

RKO_5901. The sunrise and sunset in Kenya can be magical!
Another image with "passe-partout" just to show how it would look like at a wall. I know that images with frames uploaded almost never go into Explore, but that's how it is!
Hopefully you like the image. Any comments on the framing are fine with me. If requested I can upload same image without the frame.

Once again our house beach in the south of Sri Lanka. If it is not rainy sunrises and sunsets are always gorgeous. But every day is different. It is an interesting task to observe the difference in sunsets and sunrises from day to day.
Sunset in Hengelo
At sunrise and sunset, the sun is low on the horizon and light travels longer through the atmosphere. Due to the dust in the atmosphere, part of the light rays are scattered in the spectrum of colors and the sky changes from yellow to orange and red.
"....disregard the screaming in the background."
I love me a gorgeous backdrop, just look at those floor shadows - this is a build that loves sunrise and sunset effects for extra shadow drama into the room; we've all been spoilt by the wonderful items at Midnight Order which has surpassed itself this month. And head on over to Men Only for the armchair, which contains several high quality poses with included matching walking stick.

Sunrise and sunset are constant feature of our daily life, happens everyday and it's unique beyond recognition, sunset is a reminder, one more day have elapsed, are we any closer to our goals?
Now that it's getting fall and colder here, it's time to head to warmer climes. Our house in Sri Lanka stood empty long enough. The warm and humid climate will do my arthritic joints good and the spectacular sunrises and sunsets on our house beach will delight the soul.
Not only are we treated to colorful sunrises and sunsets in winter - but we also see the snow take on the color of the skies. What a treat!
Well the sunrises and sunsets have been rubbish so far so here's a wider view from Steetley Pier in mono.
Thanks a lot for your time, your likes and your comments.

Some say, "The biggest cliche in photography are sunrise and sunset" ... :) I say, sunrises and sunsets showcase the wonderful mother nature at its best, so I enjoy capturing them.
Winter sunrises and sunsets add uplifting color during the dark days of an Alaskan winter.
(The natural sky was such a vivid color that I actually toned it down a bit.)

YOU'RE GONNA BE OK – BRIAN & JENN JOHNSON
I wonder if the doctors want to
put me in a cardboard box
tidy their files and empty their drawers
make more room for their Winter stocks
take my hope and condemn me
to a life without a reason
to a darkness with no light
just Winter and no other season
but that is no life for someone like me
I need to fly; need to feel the breeze
need the sunlight to bring my freckles out
need the ocean within in me for my heart's ease
I never want to leave this world
worse off than when I found it
I want to plant and sow and grow
beautiful ideals and find my fit
for I am always on a mission
to bring the light to brighten your eyes
and I never mean to bring you down
but the honesty in me can never lie
I bring to you all that I am
raw, exposed and dutiful
I hope to be the mirror in which you see
yourself so bold and beautiful
I long to hug you close to me
to kiss your cheek and take your hand
for you are the one who sets me free
accompanies me across a once forgotten land.

Sorry I have been a bit quiet. I have been having further tests for the past week and today received the results. All is very, very well. Not perfect, but then I don't do perfect! ; 0) Seems that one of my doctors gave me the worst case scenario somewhat prematurely … now I have the chance to prevent his diagnosis ever becoming a reality! I didn't know it was possible to be over the moon and furious simultaneously! ; 0)))) I have always to take good care of myself. Not everything can be completely fixed, but for now, I am very, very happy and will continue to improve on today's results!! Thank you for your wonderful support, dear friends. I wish you a very happy weekend! xx
HFF from my garden! : 0))
Although I hate seeing the leaves depart their branches and miss the daylight as the days get shorter, there are a few things that make up for the seasonal transitions. One is the lower sun angle during the day, which gives a longer period of nice light for photography. Another is the clouds that form over the east slopes of the Rockies when the weather is in transition. The wave clouds such as these over Bear Peak (l) and Green Mountain (r) can provide amazing light shows at sunrise and sunset. The clouds are amazingly dynamic, with their forms changing rapidly, though they stay in place like waves in a stream.
We had a few glorious sunrises and sunsets during the second week I was in Norfolk. This wee barn, amongst the stubble, was on my doorstep so it was rude not to revisit a few times. The stormy skies rolled in in the evening just as the sun was setting. It was like a scene from the US when I went storm chasing a few years ago.
