When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator -
Mahatma GandhiI still have a one more client blog I am getting ready to post. In the meantime I just thought I would add some personal stuff too. I have been photographing quite a
-ahem- few sunsets lately, they have been amazing out here this summer and there's not a better day to post than this week since we are under a tropical depression. Grey skies, wind and rain.
See what I mean? Everyday has been a different canvas. It's great! Very relaxing to walk along and photograph the sunset every night. Here's a close up of a cloud one night. BAM!
Oh sing of summer and a sunset
And sing for us, so that we may remember
The day writes the words right across the sky
They all go all the way up to the top of the night
Kate Bush (Remember her!!!)
April has also been coming with me and using my old camera and asking me loads of questions about depth of field and how to get this look, that effect, etc! Here's April behind the camera...She's a chip off the old block!
and then in front - spinning in her new spinney dress!
I have also made 'friends' with the local fisherman, who has taken a liking to my dog and likes to hold his leash when I am taking photos of the setting sun! I have also found my new favourite thing to do when taking photos of local people: give them a photo, they seem to really appreciate and enjoy it and I for sure do appreciate them letting me take their pic and giving it to them! Win-Win!
This is a typical daily scene on this jetty. It's so Okinawa - the fishing rods and the bike!
Not to be taking myself and my sunset quotes too seriously, I end with another quote I found that was appropriate for my dry, sarky sense of humour - it is genetically ingrained in me, I'm a Brit, I can't help it!
"Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.” - Jack Handy
Heee heeee.

Thanks so much. Shooting sunsets has become like my active meditation this summer! I had no energy for a couple of days 'cause we had a tropical depression passing thru, so I thought some colour would be great!
