Red Sky at Night, Sailors Delight by taffy

Red Sky at Night, Sailors Delight

Not an original six word story, but a saying that I know is now a cliche. I hope the saying holds as we're really enjoying some nice weather. Photo taken in Belmont Harbor looking south toward the city.
Busy weekend coming up with a leadership institute all day Saturday and colleagues in for the event for the weekend. So, I apologize in advance, but commenting will be inconsistent til Monday.
Aaaaah...let me be the first to put this in my favorites. Such a great sunset!

September 26th, 2014  
Stunning. Fav
September 26th, 2014  
The clouds seem to form an arrow pointing at a subtle dip in the building horizon and then the reflection on the water. It all just draws your eye in. I see this in your picture and it is a huge lesson. Tucking it away.
September 26th, 2014  
Fabulous tones and composition, fav
September 26th, 2014  
Stunning, love everything about this image, fav :)

I love this harbor and its view of downtown. I like the processing that takes the sunset to almost sepia tones. Interesting take.
September 26th, 2014

WOW WOW WOW, Taffy! Number 1 on TT! I'm sorry I wasn't online this past week and missed seeing it earlier, but clearly, you didn't need my vote! Beautifully depicted sunset, indeed. I like how the weight of the image is across one line, yet the sky and the water "curves" from it -- it is the super wide round lens?
October 5th, 2014  
@jyokota just my kit. Thanks for all the views!! And favs! Just got back from flying with Dennis. but no fall colors in the mountains. :-(
