Jan Timmons
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.
FelicityB
What a beautiful sunset – well done!
chijude replied
Hello Felicity. Thank you my dear for your visit and lovely comment.
NAPaul
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!!
AndyGii
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
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.
Suzanne D Jaes...
Great sunset Jude, like the framing of the tree….. :)
chijude replied
Guess you can see the possibilities from my balcony hey?? Thanks for dropping by Suzanne.
Luann Ryan
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
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
Very nice sihouette in the foreground and lovely orange sunset with the hint of the sun.
chijude replied
Thanks Donna. I was pleased with the result!

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,
Gaz Gazmajster
Great idea for a title.

Beautiful Capture!!
chijude replied
Thanks indeed Brian!
Wendi Donaldson
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!!
Cherubtree
Lovely capture…love the way the leaves are etched against the orange sky!
