Lavender Sunset

One of the many beautiful places to sit along the Noosa River, Noosaville, Queensland, Australia. The dust storm covering most of South-East Queensland today made for an interesting sunset. Captured a small flock of Rainbow Lorikeets also in this shot. There is 1000’s of these on the river every afternoon, sometimes you can’t hear yourself think.. Hehe :)

Most of you keen sunset photographers will know by now, there is a colour band that follows the sun, on the opposite side of the horizon. When that passes through the upper clouds, it makes them go insane oranges and reds, or maybe other colours depending on the air it’s passing through.. From when the sun disappears over the horizon, this band goes from east to west, taking about 30 minutes to do so.

I took this shot as it was about half way, and the dust make it glow a lovely lavendar colour. I quite liked the back lit eucalypt trees along the river at this time :)

The colours in this shot, have not been altered.
