i can understand 'confusion'. when i was new in toronto, it was weird for me to see the sun rising out of the lake and see it setting among trees. in the home country, it was different as sunset was always see on the bay and the sunrise from the fields. great sunset shot and colours. aces!
This is so beautiful- but I'm confused about the confusion- the sun always sets in the west here and rises in the east. Is it because there are no trees? fav
@olivetreeann Hi Ann - you are quite right of course. It's just that we live in Qld - on the coastline of the East Coast, and the sun comes up over the water but our sunsets are always over land with trees etc. And when we're travelling North we expect the sea to be on our right. It's all reversed on the West Coast and it's amazing how often it makes you think you're driving in the wrong direction etc. Crazy, I know. :)
@jgpittenger Hi Jane - you're so right about the foreground - I was in a hurry and didn't realize until I'd posted it... too lazy to bother by then :) We're still travelling and seeing so many sights - so many photos! Cheers Rob
@summerfield Hi Vikki - thanks for your interest. The weirdness is still with us - but at least now we are used to the ocean being on the left when we drive North! Isn't it amazing how your mind works? Cheers Rob
Hi Diana - thanks for your comment and fav. It's interesting at Broome - it's right on the coastline of the Indian Ocean but has a really protected section where all the yachts, charter boats etc moore straight off the coast - it looks quite weird really. The trucks, cars etc. drive straight down onto the beach for deliveries. Cheers Rob @ludwigsdiana
@robz I thought it must something like that. It just shows how used to things we get. Where I live the sun both rises and sets among the trees so when I'm at place where there are less trees on the horizon I'm fascinated by the setting and rising sun (although I'm hardly awake to see the latter!).
