Sunset on Santa Maria della Salute Church
The Festa del Redentore is an event held in Venice the third Sunday of July where the fireworks play an important role.
The Redentore began as a feast - held on the day of the Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer - to give thanks for the end of the terrible plague of 1576, which killed 50,000 people, including the great painter Tiziano Vecellio (Titian). The Doge Alvise I Mocenigo promised to build a magnificent church if the plague ended.[1] Andrea Palladiowas commissioned, assisted by Da Ponte, to build a majestic church on the Island of Giudecca. The church, known as Il Redentore, was consecrated in 1592,hand is one of the most important examples of Palladian religious architecture. After the foundation stone was laid, a small wooden church was temporarily built, along with temporary bridge of barges from the Zattere, so that the Doge Sebastian Venier could walk in procession as far as the tabernacle. Afterwards, the Doge made a pilgrimage to the Church of Redentore every year.
On Saturday, the eve of the festival, fireworks are let off. Preparations begin early in the morning when people begin to decorate their boats, or the small wooden terraces on rooftops from where they can admire the fireworks. At sunset, Saint Mark's basin begins to fill with up with boats of all kinds, festooned with balloons and garlands, and thousands of Venetians await the fireworks while dining on the boats. Around 10 o'clock at night, from pontoons placed nearby the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the fireworks begin and Saint Mark's basin becomes one of the most atmospheric stages in the world. The fireworks last for around 45 to 60 minutes, illuminating the night and arousing intense emotions in both Venetians and visitors. Once the fireworks are over, the young people of the city head off to the Lido, where they sit on the sand and wait for dawn.
A bridge of barges is built connecting Giudecca to the rest of Venice. Sunday is devoted to religious celebrations.
The 2006 festival celebrated the victory of the Italian national soccer team in the World Cup and fireworks in the colours of the Italian flag were let off.

"Sunset Beach Pebbles" by Patti Deters.
This sandy beach in Silver City, Michigan is covered in smooth colorful pebbles, as shown in this low angle photo. Upper Michigan has miles of beautiful shoreline along Lake Superior, which is one of the five Great Lakes in the USA. The Upper Peninsula (The UP) landscape is known for beautiful sunsets and wildlife, though this sunset and flock of birds are composites.

Sunset over the Trossachs area of Scotland from Ben A'an - the miniature mountain. Ben Venue - the Mountain of the Goblins is to the right, with Loch Katrine below and the mountains of the Arrochar Alps in the distance.
Pitt River, Port Coquitlam, BC.
Not the perfect sunset with the cloud covering the sun, but the light attracts me.
Went for a walk this evening - and watched the sky turn from palest pink through golden, apricot and orange to deep purple. And thought again how wonderful the silhouettes of winter trees look against the sunset.
The sunset was spectacular tonight, but...I couldn't see all the beautiful colors from the yard so I hopped in the car and drove for a bit til I came to this place where I could see forever! I really like this one, it shows the whole sky!
Taken from our time at the beach. I was hoping to get one from home but I don't seem to get up in time to get a decent shot. The weather is so changeable at the moment you never know what you are going to wake to.
Sunset at Washington's Rialto Beach. The soothing and rhythmic song of the waves is so restful and relaxing.
Many think of Olympic National Park for it's impressive rainforests, peaks, rivers and waterfalls, but it's beaches are also most wonderful.
Your visits, comments, faves and support make my day.
Thank you!
