Beaver Island Sunset 8:48p.m.

I suspect the is such a think 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 (bring 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.
It really is quite a contrast -- and shows that you have to keep being vigilant. I'm already regretting that I may not make it to BI till later this fall . . .

If you feel that there might be something as too many sunsets, how does it make me feel about my sunrises...? :( No, I don't think there could ever be enough of either. And I am glad that you are also experiencing the ever changing spectrum of light, colour and patterns which God provides us with every day...

These colours are gorgeous, what more can I say?

The difference in colour between them is amazing. This one is my fav because of the beautiful soft colours (and because purple is my favourite colour)
Oh and I don't think there is such a thing as too many sunsets either!

I love those days I have when driving home and the sunset changes color. Unfortunately the next time that happens will be when our days are getting shorter and colder. Puts you to rest watching these scenes.

Beautiful colour, we have had some amazing sunsets lately too. Last Sunday we had a host of colours at the same time. Looking out to Sea lots of pinks and purple and then looking up the beach organ age and reds yet also purples.

Congratulations on making the Trending Page.

Such a beautiful photo. Loses the "Wow" after a while when the sun is setting. The water makes this photo and so do the pretty pastel colors.
