Here's a sunset from my backyard through the trees and one at the dunes at the OBX.

Here's one I took.

Angie, you are going to get a lot of gorgeous photos for this one! I love your dunes shot and also Armadillo's colorful sunset! I'll be going up north to a cottage on Wednesday, so I think I'll get some great shots!

Proud Mom · 09-01-2009, 06:22 AM

Great challenge, Angie! (I will tell you now it's just about KILLING ME

not to post a previously taken photo, but I will keep the challenge and start shooting tonight!) Love your photos - the light and colors are AMAZING!

yellowrose46 · 09-01-2009, 06:35 AM

I know what you mean, Pam! I have some awesome sunset and sunrise photos that I have taken in the past.

Cordelia · 09-01-2009, 08:22 AM

We hear ya, Pam !

Great shots so far!

yellowrose46 · 09-01-2009, 05:38 PM

A virtually cloudless sky does not make the best sunset, but I went out this evening and got a couple of shots anyway. This was taken of the farm down the road. The first one shows the seagulls taking off.........the harvested field was practically white with them! Second is the sunset over the barn.

Love the sunset photos ladies. Angie and Armadillo...I just love the colours in your photos.
Ina... It's neat how you got the flock of birds flying through your photo.

Here are two of my sunset photos. The first one is taken in Rocky Harbour, Newfoundland and the second is taken at Sauble Beach, Ontario.

Beautiful photos!

Ina I love the silhouettes against that pure orange sky - breathtaking!
Armadillo - those clouds really add to the drama of the sky!
Connie - spectacular! Love the first one with the fill flash in the foreground-really a cool shot!

We've only had boring sunsets around here since the challenge was issued....boo hoo!

Angie, Armadillo, Ina & Connie...all your shots are stunning. I love the silhouettes and the contrast in these pictures.

Connie, I especially love the green and hint of pink combined with the sunset colors.

Beautifully done, girls (forgive me if Armadillo is a male).

Not a very good picture, but I took a tour to Yosemite last week and this was the sunset with the smoke from the fire they had covering it.

SurfLola · 09-03-2009, 02:10 PM

These are some beautiful pictures. They all bring something different.

c-mouse · 09-03-2009, 03:45 PM

Here is one by my DH.....I don't do sunsets or rises usually. but he loves to shoot them

armadillo · 09-03-2009, 04:29 PM

There are certainly some wonderful sunsets and 3 Little Love Bugs, no forgiveness needed as I am indeed a femal.

SurfLola · 09-04-2009, 02:04 AM

Sunrise on the Long Island Sound

Sunset, Fire Island, New York

Oh good, I know there are some men on the board and didn't want to assume anything.

Cordelia · 09-06-2009, 12:39 PM

Here's one I took a couple of nights ago. I couldn't find my camera so I missed the best moment, but I still think it worked okay.

girlzclubstampers · 09-06-2009, 06:18 PM

Wowzo - some gorgeous pictures here! I haven't been on in forever!!! I love sunsets - they're the best! This was over Puget Sound on Whidbey Island. =)

girlzclubstampers · 09-06-2009, 06:21 PM

Forgot to add the picture! Note - I didn't edit it at all... which is pretty good for me! =) It's hard to take a good picture and not tweak it a little.

girlzclubstampers · 09-06-2009, 06:21 PM

Well, yeah - I did add a little watermark there - I'm testing it out! What do ya think, girls?

Duckwaddlequack · 09-06-2009, 07:38 PM

WOWZERS! GALS (& GUYS) these are all so fabulous! I have one from this past week to post - hubby surprised me and took me to the lake the other evening and we enjoyed a little picnic while the sun set. Haven't gotten the pics off my camera yet as we've had family in town the past few days. Oh and I'll post the next challenge tomorrow - we just got in from spending the last 12 hours over at my MIL's house! I'm BEAT!!!!!

Nice!

Duckwaddlequack · 09-07-2009, 06:00 PM

Ok here are a few favs from our little picnic at the lake a few days ago.

yellowrose46 · 09-08-2009, 09:29 AM

Awesome photos everyone! I already posted sunset photos, but this past weekend we were at a cottage and took a special bicycle ride to watch the sunset over a bay on Lake Huron. Seeong as sunset photos are my favs., I took a lot of them. Here are my favourites.

Timmyscat · 09-08-2009, 05:50 PM

My DH and I took a drive tonight to take sunset pictures. These are from just outside of town.
I don't know if my pictures are any good, but I sure am having a lot of fun with the challenges. (I'm new).

yellowrose46 · 09-09-2009, 04:42 AM

Timmyscat, these are beautiful! I didn't know you had a wind farm in your area. We have some huge ones just north-east of here.

LateNightScrappin · 09-09-2009, 08:13 AM

HI Ladies! Here is a couple photos I took from Kelley's Island last weekend-- when we took a camping vacation to Cedar Point in Ohio.

Timmyscat · 09-09-2009, 11:06 AM

Thanks Ina!
There are wind farms popping up all around here now. I like them...can't get over the size.

Oh my, what gorgeous pictures. Just catching up down here after being on holidays. Kept trying to get a photo of a ruined bridge at sunset, but it was what DH called PP (posers paradise), so after three nights I gave up and went for a sunrise photo instead. I'll post it when I get some sorting out done today.
Pansy, loved your DH's photo.
