Sunday's sunset

in Photography Lovers5 years ago

This was the sky, approximately 12 hours ago...

It was one of those "...nothing is happening... no, we're not getting any dramatic sunset today days... nothing to see here days..."

And then, Wham! Bam! POW! Run for the camera....

Sunset! Dramatic sunset, I mean...

And you know these don't last long....
Five minutes, if you're lucky!

Suddenly, I noticed a glow coming from the window,
even though the sky was almost dark
Took a peek out...
Yikes!
Grab the camera!!

It intensifies... by the seconds...
Take a breath, steady...
Shoot!

Shoot the trees
They're like on fire

Tick tock
Every passing second
Darkening
Almost all gone

Darkness envelopes the scene
Leaving the remaining slashes of deepening red,
growing smaller, lesser, duller
Night reigns

Thank you very much! Appreciate your words... 😊

Thank you! 😊

You just had to wait for it! What a glorious sunset!

Our sunset is often 'Ho Hum' but the sunrise is almost always something special.

Thanks for sharing a great sunset!

Yeah, have realised patience is really a virtue when it comes to sunsets... photography in general I guess :)
I get hints that we get some good sunrises too - but my apartment faces West... and East-ward for me is obstructed by a lil hill. Am glad you enjoy these... :)

Yes, I kwow: you're the Sunset's Queen. Hugs, friend

Hahahaha - some lil bird must have whispered that, I think... :D
Stay safe, my friend!!

Very nice pictures! Especially the change in colors. It gives me the idea to make a timelapse of a sunset.
