Fishing at sunset

A man fishing off a quay in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote. His wife stands next to him and the sun sets over the water he's fishing from.

On a lovely evening in Puerto del Carmen, a man fishes in the waters of the Atlantic. The sun is setting, but the evening is still warm, even in January!

A Lifebuoy Saves Lives

A lifebuoy on a pole with the water of Malaga Harbour behind it just after the sun has set.

The waters of Malaga harbour are quiet, but there are many people walking around as the sun sets over the city. A lifebuoy could be the difference between life and death.

From the top of the hotel I was staying at, I saw this lovely sunset happen and had to capture some images of it before the colour disappeared. Cranes dot the landscape, a sign of continued expansion in the Spanish tourist industry!

The sunset glow

A yellow sky just after sunset. The silhouettes of street lamps, a tree and the horizon.

The setting sun makes the sky glow a lovely yellow before the day ends in darkness.

Red Clouds at Sunset

High clouds are lit by the sun after it has set. They're a vivid red thanks to the sun shining through the atmosphere. Street lights and the tops of houses are visible too.

Clouds in the sky are lit up by the sun after it has set. They’re a vivid red thanks to the light travelling through the thick atmosphere just beyond the horizon.

That after sun glow

The orange, red and yellow glow in the sky after the sun has set is caused by the sun shining on the underside of high altitude cloud. It's reflected in the water and the land is in shadow.

I went to the reservoir in Inniscarra yesterday evening to capture the sunset. It had been a glorious day and I saw there would be a smattering of cloud at sunset, which might make for a dramatic picture.

As it happened, there was cloud, but it was mostly at the horizon in a thick, impenetrable bank. The sun set several minutes too early, with barely a glimmer of yellow, but twenty minutes later I was treated to a spectacular display of colour.

AFAIK, it’s caused by the sun shining through the atmosphere at the underside of high altitude clouds on the horizon. If you use the mobile app, Clear Outside, look for high altitude cloud. If there’s a lot of it, and not much low cloud, you’ll probably have a nice sunset. 🙂

Eiffel Tower Reflection in Grand Palais Éphémère

The Eiffel Tower reflected in the windows of the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris. The sky is clear and sun has set creating a yellow glow on the horizon. People are seen in the foreground watching the tower.

So many people gathered to watch the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but if they looked behind them, they’d see this magnificent reflection of the Tower.

The Grand Palais Éphémère was empty and dark when I was there, so it reflected perfectly the Eiffel Tower in its windows.

I have to admit, the last time I was in Paris, some 23 years ago, I don’t remember the Grand Palais Éphémère being there at all, but back then I didn’t have the equipment or skill to take a photo like this anyway, and never thought to visit the Eiffel Tower in the evening! It wasn’t in the guide book!

A Sunset ICM

The colours of a sunset captured in the sweep of an ICM photo. Dark to bright orange and a bit of dark at the bottom where the roof of a house was.

I wish Adobe would use their AI to do an automated spot healing tool. My sensor needs cleaning and there were lots of specks that needed to be cloned out in this photo. They can already highlight them. They just need to go that one final step…

The Eiffel Tower at Sunset

The Eiffel Tower in Paris at sunset a few days ago. Crowds throng the garden looking towards the tower waiting for the light show at 10pm

The Eiffel Tower garden is thronged with people watching the sun set behind the massive structure. The sky was clear and it was a hot night. People were sitting in almost every available space waiting for the light show that made the Tower sparkle on the hour.
