Sailing away from Morocco caught this fishing boat in the setting sun

It's not as lovely as the green dalek...just a cheeky little green man plaque I have on the conservatory.

We're going to have great year-round sunset-watching when the lake cottage is finished.

Posted by kerouac2 on Mar 28, 2011, 8:39pm

When will the lake cottage be finished?

Taken in my backyard..............

*shoves jaw closed*

You must have wanted to stand up and applaud. That's magnificent!

WoW! I have got to agree with Bixa - It's totally magnificent, awesome, and a delight to the eye!
Thanks for letting us have the experience too, even if we can't see the palms sway

...or hear the mating calls of the koalas.

Posted by bixaorellana on Mar 30, 2011, 12:29am

True. But we don't know what kinds of sounds Foreverman is making.

That's what I'm wondering! Progress is being made in fits and starts. The cabinets went in then three were pulled out to be replaced with cabinets of the right size. The tile man showed up to tile the shower and then called to say that he couldn't continue as the bullnose tiles were mismatched. It took two weeks to get Emser Tile in Ontario, California, to send the right tiles. It was their mistake, yet they would not send them express delivery.

We think the inside could be done in about a month. The grading and paving and stonework and exterior painting will come later.

I love that picture.

Posted by tod2 on Apr 14, 2011, 2:55pm

Both photos are truly a stunning scene, Foreverman and Imec!

Posted by imec on Apr 15, 2011, 1:30am

Thank you!

Posted by cheerypeabrain on Apr 15, 2011, 4:05pm

Aren't they lovely! absolutely splendid pics...it isn't the easiest subject and both are brilliantly executed. *sigh* I wanna go there..... 8-)

Posted by deyana on Apr 23, 2011, 2:10pm

Oooh....lovely pics of sunsets, all different, but all interesting.

Here's two I took in England as I walked home:

You captured some lovely colour Deyana! Beautiful. Did you find yourself slowing down your walk to enjoy the setting? Hopefully your were not in a hurry.
Cheers,
Mich

Posted by deyana on Apr 23, 2011, 8:07pm

Thanks mich. I did slow down to have a look at those two sunsets. They reminded me that beauty can be found just about anywhere. Something about a nice sunset that makes you focus just on that.

Posted by kerouac2 on Apr 23, 2011, 8:40pm

Excellent, Deyana.

Here is the sunset over the English Channel yesterday.

Posted by deyana on Apr 25, 2011, 12:39pm

Very nice.

Posted by kimby on Apr 28, 2011, 5:40am

(NOT a real recent photo, but I'm getting tired of snow and ice!)

Posted by imec on May 9, 2011, 1:16am

Wasn't sure about this one. It's facing east so no sunset, but it was the early evening sky today.

Posted by bixaorellana on May 9, 2011, 2:06am

Kimby, your picture is so serene & lovely.

Imec, that's a great pic. Its subtlety would have worked in "Light" as well. I am really drawn into that expanse.

Posted by kimby on Jun 12, 2011, 6:52pm

Thanks, bixa. It's one of my favorite pictures, too.

Although our home in the woods is "shielded" from view of sunsets and sunrises by mountains on each side, I think we'll be enjoying a lot of sunsets at the lake cottage.

These were all from one sunset, last Wednesday.

BTW, I just noticed that in my sunset photo from March, the sun sets a lot farther south than in this series from June.

Posted by kerouac2 on Jun 13, 2011, 6:20pm

Anybody who lives in "Big Sky Country" has an unfair advantage.

Posted by kimby on Jun 13, 2011, 6:47pm

Well, my house is in the same state, but I haven't ever seen a sunset from here - too many trees and foothills blocking the view to the west. Sometimes the higher clouds get kinda pink though, and then I know that the folks in town are enjoying a spectacular sunset.
