Sunset in Blue
by Stan Wojtaszek
A day of near misses, this day.
Everywhere I went I was just a few minutes too late.
Seal Cove is about fifteen minutes from home, on the west side of the peninsula. Headed there.
Saw a nice pic of rim lit trees. By the time I found a safe place to pull over, I was a little late. :(
Got into Seal Cove. Went around to the right. At the end of the road, I looked across the bay to see beautiful pink light reflecting off the rocks.
Ripped back around to the harbour. OOPS.
A little too late. :(
The sun was setting fast. Nothing to do but set up the tripod and take a few snaps.
Apparently only the gull and I were enjoying this.
Any way, by the time I was set up, I figured I was a little too late. The sun was down below the hills; most of the colour was gone.
Took a couple of shots, anyway.
Actually, I don't mind this - the shadows are in blue with a little colour on the water.
That works. :)
Any way. The sun dropped and it got dark very quickly.
Nothing to do but to head for home.
A few minutes out of town a moose crossed the road in front of me.
Miss the opportunity to whack him with the truck.
Just a little too late.
Thankfully :)
Some times it pays. lol

11 commentsThink I agree with Tony about cropping the bits of sky at the top.
Appreciate your dropping by and commenting.
Originally, I had cropped this image to 3:2 format, getting rid of the sky.
When I went back to have a look, I didn't find it bothered me so I left it.
Now that you brought it up, it DOES bother me.
Go figure.
As far as the moose goes, its amazing how hard it is to see a creature that big.
But yes, just missed is a good thing.
Karen:
You must be a patient person.
I didn't expect anyone to actually read my entire mini-book. lol

Thanks for the encouraging comments and suggestion.
And for those who made it through the description, thanks for that, too.
Took the top off the hills and re-posted.
Thinking I might try a more severe crop and take the hills out altogether (?).
