    Love this scene. Fills me with warmth. How do you feel when you see this? (Besides feeling successful over capturing it with such a perfect shot.)

  • chijude replied

    Bit breathless Jan. One from the view and two from racing up my balcony stairs to be in time!!. As the sun was sinking I was pulling up in my driveway.

    ahh lovely – very nice timing

  • chijude replied

    The timing bit is making me smile … if you had actually witnessed the “event” !! Anything but dignified and organized.

  • Evita

    Absolutely gorgeous sunset!! Beautiful capture !!! :D

  • chijude replied

    Thanks Evita. There was very little cloud cover, so the colour was a bit of a surprise as I turned my car towards home. I was in a bit of a fluster making it up the stairs!!

    Very nice. Like the tree on the left

  • chijude replied

    Thanks Andy. I was a little unsure about which shot to post as I do have some overhead wiring blocking my way in spots. Also not sure about how much of the tree to include.

  • Dusker

    Dusker

    mmm, good shot, but sorry Andy I don’t like the bigger tree on the left! Amazing how we see things differently. I would crop the denser tree out, but, hey Sis you done good!

  • chijude replied

    Thanks sis. Know what you mean …l did dither about it but will stick with this one. Perhaps post another when I get my proverbial act together. ChiChi wondered what in the heck I was doing because I did not stop to let her out! Most annoyed was the little pooch.

    Great sunset Jude, like the framing of the tree….. :)

    OMG, what an awesome view !!!

  • chijude replied

    And the city of Adelaide (small though it may be) is between me and that sea. I overlook both!! I am indeed blessed Luann.

  • Danielle Knight

    Danielle Knight

    This is gorgeous, the silhouette of the tree looks fantastic, love your composition choice.

  • chijude replied

    Thanks Danielle. I did need to crop the treetops I overlook to get the effect I wanted. No excuses for me ..,., I live at this view!!!

  • DonnaMoore

    Greetings from Poland,

    Gaz

  • chijude replied

    Glad you asked Gaz., Simply the No of my house… No 22 … so the image was shot from my balcony which overlooks Adelaide to the sea (St Vincent Gulf). Greetings from Adelaide,

    A beautiful sunset indeed, Judy!! You certainly have a stunning view.

  • chijude replied

    Hi Wendi … I do. I am up high enough to look over our small city and out over the gulf. I face into the setting sun but have a huge tree which protects and screens my house. I will eventually get act together and take some night shots using a tripod …... eventually!!
