The Wild Atlantic Way follows almost the entire length of the west coast of Ireland and passes the spot where this photo was taken. On a very un-wild evening last May.
I have taken many,many sunrise,sunset pictures.
This is my favorite and I almost missed it.

This is the sun setting behind Lake Sam Rayburn in East Texas.
Have a great Sunday and week ahead. One click makes it pop :-)
Thanks for dropping by.
Stopped at the Rest Area near Parowan, UT and had been checking out Flickr when I looked up... Only had a few minutes before the best of the sunset was over. So glad I stopped and even more glad I looked up. Sometimes it's good to be a trucker.
Not sure what the false sun is above the setting sun--some type of refraction which probably has name.
Just before sunset at Cannon Beach, Oregon.

Sunset view captured at Attenborough Nature Reserve between Beeston /Long Eaton near the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border.
So many challenges to deal each year while trying to get a decent shot of the arch. The tide moving in, the cadre of other photographers jockeying for position and accidentally getting into each other's way, giant strands of seaweed that keep washing up into your shot, etc, etc. I had a great time shooting and struck up a conversation with a couple of guys who grew up not too far away from me. The same type of thing happened last year: Everyone is chatting away amicably until about 1/2 hour before sunset and suddenly all the shutters start going off continuously and suddenly it's every man for himself, lol.
For those of you who might be interested, your opportunity to shoot the arch with the sun pouring through is drawing to a close pretty soon. Each year, the sun moves far enough south, (Late December, Early January) for the suns rays to travel through the archway in the giant pile of rocks on Pfeiffer Beach. The access to the beach is devilishly tricky to find as there are no clear signs at the turn off and the road simply drops off the edge on the Western Side. You also face the challenge of not finding a parking spot when you arrive at the bottom as there are only a handfull of spaces available in two small parking lots. If you cut it too close, you might end up waiting at the guard shack right through the sunset and miss the entire thing. This ALMOST happened to me last year. It's $5 to park, and then a short walk to the beach through the trees.
I've included a shot from last year below.
They say the weather is very changeable in Scotland , which I've always found to be true, today being no exception, the day started off in a full on blizzard in Glencoe and I didn't even get the camera out at sunrise as you couldn't see a thing, driving was hazardous to say the least as well as just narrowly missed an oncoming lorry on the A82 which had swerved onto my side of the road to avoid a large ice deposit off a previous lorry right into my path, luckily it missed me.
Headed out again after breakfast through it once again and decided to head South towards Taynuilt and Oban, once out of the snow it just didn't stop raining, all day apart from a few moments at Kilchurn Castle on Loch Awe where I managed a few shots. After spending the afternoon in Oban I decided to scout out the best vantage point for Castle Stalker for a better day as the advertised viewpoint is really poor in my view, once I found my spot the rain was easing off but the weather was still pretty poor with low cloud, and hardly any light apart from a promising tiny patch
over towards Mull, with nothing spoiling I decided to just wait here on the offchance of a break.
about 40 minutes it really picked up and I was rewarded with what turned out to be a phenomenal sunset, this image was just the start of it before the sun had fully dropped under the large bank of cloud at the top of the frame, the light was just sublime, there is no way you could have envisaged this sunset at the start of the day or even an hour before, just goes to show you really cannot predict the changes in the weather up here off sight alone, I'll post a few more of these images in the coming weeks as they are quite different, the afterglow after sundow was a stunner as well with some great pinks and purples kicking off over the loch. Spent about 2.5 hours here and loved every minute of it, only realised how cold I was once I'd got back to the car!
