SUNSETS

Over the years, I have enjoyed taking pictures of some incredible sunsets all over

the world.  Each sunset has its own special beauty and each one is a tribute to

the great artistic powers of Almighty God.  The Master's palette is amazing! 

All glory to the Creator of every sunset.

 

Jekyll Island, Georgia

Viewing a beautiful sunset from the pier on St. Simon's Island,
looking across the sea with Jekyll Island in the distance. 
What a vibrant picture from the Master's palette. 
A literal vision of "sailing off into the sunset."

After leaving Aarhus, Denmark - 2017

The sea and sky have a silvery quality with just a touch of blue

beyond the clouds and a subtle wash of pink at the horizon. 

The dark silhouette of a merchant ship pops on

the surface of the water.

 

Island of Dominica in the Caribbean - 2017

Clouds rising over the island appear to be on fire, lit by the sun

 as it slipped behind the mountains.  It was a dramatic display

of God's great command of color and scope.

 

 

Eastern Shore of Virginia - 2016

Color and light mirror on the water of the bay creating an

 incredible picture of vaulting beauty, filling the

scene in breathtaking majesty!

 

 

Outer Banks, North Carolina

A big yellow sun hangs just above the horizon over the Currituck Sound.

A ribbon of cloud floats across its surface, giving it a front 

row view of the sun's swift descent.

 

  

Outer Banks, North Carolina - 2008

This is one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen.  It was the

day after a hurricane blew across ocean and sand. The day after the storm

was lovely and peaceful, with this amazing display of color and cloud that

can only be attributed to the Master's Hand. 

 

near Lake Havasu City, Arizona - 2018

The sky was full of color as we drove through hills surrounding sparkling

 clear Lake Havasu. Clouds reflected red and navy colors against a

golden sky.  It reminds me of the colors of a beautiful Navajo blanket. 

The Outer Banks -- Corolla Sound- 2020

A bright yellow ball in an orange sky glimpsed between rooftops

 

Amsterdam, Netherlands - 2015

While this might pass for a sunset, it's really a sunrise.  I'm slipping it in

here because I see so few sunrises in my life (I sleep late), and this just happens

to be an amazingly beautiful sight.  After an entire night flight over the Atlantic 

Ocean, we were greeted by the rising sun as we arrived in the Netherlands.

 

Norfolk, Virginia - 2022

We enjoyed watching this yellow ball sink into the Elizabeth River

as it reflected on the rippling silvery water and on the

grand ole gray Battleship Wisconsin

 Duck, North Carolina - 2023

We love to walk on the wonderful boardwalk in Duck and 

watch the sun do its disappearing act.  I like the way the colors were all

in the blue and navy family except for the splash of peach near the horizon
