The sky is one of my favorite photography subjects. I try to photograph every beautiful sunset I see, and I also try to capture unusual cloud formations at any time of day.
I see the sky as God’s canvas. Throughout each day he paints it anew, adding some very special touches when the sun rises and sets. Clouds chase each other around the horizon and reflect gorgeous colors at the beginning and end of each day. The weather changes the appearance of the sky during the day, too, as do the many jets that leave contrails. I try to capture it all as I have opportunity.
When I saw that the theme for this week’s #justforfun#1 challenge was the sky, I had to participate. I learned of this theme from Kim Johnson in her post describing the challenge. This is my contribution for Weeks 1 and 2.
A Winter Sunset on the Beach in Ventura
I took this photo on the way home from a business trip to our former home in Newbury Park, California. As we drove north on the 101 Freeway, I could not help but notice that the sunset would be an especially memorable one. So I made my husband pull off the freeway in Ventura and head for the beach. It was hard to find a parking place, but I got to the beach just in time to capture the sun saying goodnight.
This sunset over the sea is great
I wanted to get this picture because I so rarely am able to be on the beach when there is a beautiful sunset.
OH boy, it sure is beautiful. Nothing like the western sunset over the water. Love it.
I wish I had more opportunities to get beach sunsets.
Wow this is breathtaking my friend!
It’s a shame so few were on the beach that night to see it.
I have learned not all enjoy the sunset like we do, cannot imagine why but maybe they get too busy.
It’s easier for those of us who don’t work outside the home to see the sunsets. Those stuck in office buildings or driving east home from work don’t have a lot of choice.
You are right, I enjoy all of mine from my deck and I never take it for granted.
