The closing of a beautiful day. Everyone have a restful night.
When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon,
my soul expands in worship of the Creator”

I was in a hurry to get home, and too just a glance at what I thought was the after sunset sky remiss that I had missed a good one. Then, party way through the drive, the sun dipped under the clouds on the far horizon and BAM! We had an amazingly beautiful sky for about 5 minutes. I didn’t have my big camera with me and I really was in a hurry, so a quick iPhone photo had to suffice. I love these moments.
Sunset or sundown is the daily disappearance of the Sun below the horizon in the west as a result of Earth's rotation.
The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment the trailing edge of the Sun's disk disappears below the horizon in the west. The ray path of light from the setting Sun is highly distorted near the horizon because of atmospheric refraction, making sunset appear to occur when the Sun’s disk is already about one diameter below the horizon. Sunset is distinct from dusk, which is the moment at which darkness falls, which occurs when the Sun is approximately eighteen degrees below the horizon. The period between sunset and dusk is called twilight.
Locations north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle experience no sunset or sunrise at least one day of the year, when the polar day or the polar night persist continuously for 24 hours.
Sunset creates unique atmospheric conditions such as the often intense orange and red colors of the Sun and the surrounding sky.
Taken from the wharf at Flying Fish Cove, beautiful warm evening.
There where a few couples on the beach having a quite glass of vino watching the sun go down.
Waves were large last night when I shot the "Vortex" posted below. Got a little wet but did not get too close to shelf. These waves can hit you hard and really ruin your day....always watch the incoming and move before they come in.
