Sunset in a Ball 1_DSC6026

The temperature peaked at 40 degrees centigrade today, too hot and sticky to much until late afternoon. After a swim to cool off and a walk along the beach, we drove out to Point Peron to watch the sunset. I took lots of "traditional" sunset shots, then decided to play with my crystal ball again. I couldn't decide which shot I preferred.

Of the two I think I prefer this one. I like that the horizons coincide with one another. Both are gorgeous. Fav.

[Corinne]
