Sunset over Israel

Samana, Las Terrenas, DR

A couple Saturday's ago, I was out and about trying to find a spot to capture the sunset. I was runnning out of time to find the right place and I came across this location. The sun was getting quite low so before I even headed out to the end of this pier, I started snapping. I wanted to get a shot before the sun dipped all the way below the treeline.

Afterwards, I sat on that bench, put photography on hold for a moment, and remembered that sometimes I need to see the world through my eyes and not always through the lense. I thought about that for the longest time. I pondered over the realization that I spend so much time behind the camera that I forget that not all things in life need to be captured on a digital memory stick.

So I just sat there. Breathed in the fresh air. And as the night sky started to bring itself to center stage, I picked up my camera and headed back to the car. Half way back, I turned around and took one more look ~ a moment meant for just me, myself and I, all captured on my very own internal memory "stick" for personal viewing anytime I close my eyes.

Have a great weekend everyone :-)

The Hidden Path is the historic route to the execution scene that took place in 1947 of two British Army sergeants, by the Jewish underground, Etzel. Even today, the place is still known as the Sargent Grove.

After a day of thunderstorms, wind, and downpours yesterday, the sunset made up for it. I didnt think we would have such a nice one so I didnt bother to go somewhere special, like the lake, to capture it. But, it turned out to be too good not to catch so I snapped a few frames from my balcony.

While I do have a great view and can enjoy sunsets every night, in order to get a shot like this, I have to get rid of 2 cell towers, an emergency siren, and an electrical line that runs across the image well above the treeline. Its a lot of post processing work, but well worth it for an image like this. My mischievous side thinks about going out there in the middle of the night and getting rid of all those obstacles permantly. You think the city would miss any of that?? LOL!! Afterall, from a photographic perspective, they ruin every single sunset! Usually, if I am not out shooting the sunset somewhere, I pretty much just watch and then forget about them. But this time, it was worth the effort to clean up the view.

The water tower in the lower left corner is right at the county fair grounds where they shoot the fireworks in July. Unlike my sunset views, the distractions from the cell towers, siren, and electrical line dont affect my view of the fireworks at all.

Have a great week everyone :-)

The photograph captures a panoramic view of the historic city of Khiva, Uzbekistan, bathed in the warm hues of a setting sun. The scene is dominated by the silhouette of a large, rounded dome, likely part of a mosque or mausoleum, rising above the city's skyline. Several minarets and other architectural structures are visible, creating a complex and visually striking composition. The sky is a gradient of orange and blue, with wisps of clouds adding texture and depth. The overall impression is one of timeless beauty and cultural richness.

More practice using my graduated filter. Shot this at Springbrook Forest Preserve during the sunset last Saturday.

Today, similar as yesterday I'm showcasing Salzburg's cityscape from the Müllnersteg, the same location as yesterday's post. Hence, allow me to refer to yesterday’s post for more information about the various building on display. The only difference from yesterday’s post is the time of day. Yesterday's photo was taken shortly after 6:00 pm, while this one was captured just before 7:00 am, right before the city lights were turned off. I'm curious to know which photograph you prefer. - Müllnersteg, Salzburg, Austria.
