I suspect there I s such a thing as too many sunset images, but I couldn't help posting again tonight. The two I'm posting were taken ON THE SAME NIGHT only 21 minutes apart. I went down to the beach to take some shots as the sunset colors were spectacular. Then, the sun went down. I came in (bringing a mosquito with me - ugh!), downloaded the photos to Lightroom, looked up, changed from the 70-200 to my 14-24 lens and went back to the beach. I could not believe these two photos were from the same night. And I did not change colors/saturations to make them look different. Sliders used include tweaking exposure, contrast, highlights. Cropped both photos a tad to get the sun here and the twig in the other one on thirds. 8:27 is cropped at 4X3 while 8:48 is cropped at 16X9 since the sky was much less interesting. Really an interesting light show this evening!

Thank you for your kind works on the cemetery shots and for @Ivan for sharing the history of the funny saying on the headstone.
Amazing the difference that 20 minutes made to the colors of the sky. Like both shots, but have to love this one's saturated reds with the glowing edges of those clouds. Fav
There is definitely no such thing as too many sunsets when they look as spectacular as this one. Fantastic shot. got to be a fav.
Isn't it amazing how quickly the sky changes in such a short space of time.
So much life and interest in the sky, wow! As you say, hard to believe that both images came from the same night. You have really made the most of it with the low placement of the horizon. Stunningly beautiful!
the difference is totally fascinating. never too many. I think my favorite is the pink one (if you were asking). Maia would surely ask why we have to pick.
Absolutely stunning. Isn't it amazing just how quickly things can change? And there's no such thing as too many brilliant sunset shots! Not if they're like yours!
There is too much beauty going on here - you don't even know where to look - the sun, the reflection, the edge of the lower clouds, the top glowing clouds or the sunrays. Beautiful.
Fantastic sunset, I would totally overdose on sunsets if I was away from the city. It is such a tease being in the city, you know that awesome sunset is out there somewhere if only you could get away from the rooftops and all of the lights.
@jgpittenger Thanks Jane! This shot was about 40 minutes - maybe less - after the bird/moon one I posted on Flickr. It was quite a range of scenes in less than about an hour. Off photography for probably the next week...hoping there will be some down time, but not optimistic.
@jgpittenger Back into our reconstructed house where the fire was last November...they are more or less going to be finished by Thursday. We're driving down from BI tomorrow and have Sunday-Monday to organize our rental condo for packup of our stuff and rental company getting their stuff, then Tuesday the packers come, Wed deliver content to our place, along with deliver of our stuff that was electronics and saved, and the art work, and then general contents. Thursday is delivery of bed and something else that escapes me, and Friday is delivery of the furniture we've had to purchase that is in (missing is our couch still on its boat from Italy) and Thursday night is the official first night in reconstructed house so Wed is our last night in our wonderful condo in the sky. We hope to get enough done that we can come back to BI on Sunday and then the contractors can finish all the loose ends on our place. Still another month before the lower unit is done and the entry way to both units finished.
Absolutely stunning! Wow what a sky and so different to the other shot! Love those rays! Huge Fav! Happy moving! Sounds like the week from hell but I hope everything goes to plan! Take care!
The colours and light in this are gorgeous. Such a tranquil atmosphere to this. It's amazing how rapidly a sunset scene changes - the transience makes sunsets doubly precious, I think.

Gorgeous and then some!!
Great shot.
