Sunset over Normanton Hills by seanoneill

Sunset over Normanton Hills

This is the shot that I had planned for yesterday before the forecast sunset turned cloudy.

This is the sun setting on a bitterly cold evening over Normanton Hills, near my home village of East Leake.

I had a couple of alternatives, which were difficult to choose between. I took various shots over a 30 minute period, during which time the sky changed colour many times. I will pop the other two in my other albums in the morning.

@seanoneill This would look beautiful framed on a wall....just lovely
March 7th, 2012  
@debsulzberger Thank you so much Deb, the greatest accolade I can ever be given for a photo is that someone thinks it is good enough to hang on a wall, so you have just made me beam from ear to ear.
March 7th, 2012  
@debsulzberger ....and by the way, be my guest!!
March 7th, 2012  
The fence silhouette and sun position make this feel like a destination shot. Well Done!

This is gorgeous.I love how the sun highlights the shape of the gate and the band of yellow across the photo separates the silhouette in the lower end and the almost purple sky detail.

@cccoupland @sailingmusic @photos222 @sgoodin1 @esolvideosuk Thank you all so much. Sometimes when you take a shot, you know you've got a good 'un.. That is how I felt when I took this, so I am delighted that you all think so too.
