Captiva Sunset II
Posted by Brian (West Lafayette, United States) on 22 August 2007 in Landscape & Rural.
The sun slides gently over the horizon. The colors deepen, then fade. The world is peaceful but for the gentle sigh of the sea.

Again the awesome beauty of a sunset has left me in total awe! A wonderful ending to the day! Fantastic job of capturing the true beauty of this sunset! You must have enjoyed this sunset tremendously! The colors are so rich and blend into eachother with such fluid motion.
I think of these words when I saw this sunset...
"Know what you want to do, hold the thought firmly, and do every day what should be done, and every sunset will see you that much nearer the goal."

I'm mesmerized. Great sunset! Wonderful caption to go with it... is the sky on fire, or what?

LV--Thanks for the wonderful "boost!" Viewfinder--the sky really did seem as if it was burning; the effect lasted about 5 minutes, then faded. I took quite a few shots, but this one was optimal.
Lorraine, Dave, Sriram, Coined, Paulo, Mysam (and LV & Viewfinder)--you're all my inspiration--and tough acts to follow!
