We didn't plan to stay long this day, but as the sun lowered, we sensed something special on the horizon. It started off subtly and continued to build in intensity like a good rock song—think Stairway To Heaven. Pointing my lens in different directions at different times produced an array of results and displays of color. It was a magical afternoon for a photographer. I'll never forget this day as long as I live. My camera and current skill set don't do it justice.
This post is dedicated to my loving daughter, Autumn, who GOT ENGAGED LAST NIGHT! Her ring is stunning, but the best part is she has an amazing man that treats her like a queen. Congratulations my dear, sweet girl! You and Jason are perfect for one another. I can't wait to help plan your special day. Love with all my heart, Mom.

These are beautiful! Sunsets are like a box of chocolates, as Forest Gump would say. You never know what you're gonna get. What you got is beyond delicious. :)
Its like the sky is a canvas sprayed on with beautiful colors. Its so surreal and peaceful. Loved the picture my dear Gail :) Hugs.
"Countless times I have gone out with my camera for a specific purpose and ended up with something completely different and unexpected."

How wonderful to have your daughter and future son in law share such great, happy news!!! Can't wait to see the ring and look forward to you sharing your experiences with your daughter's wedding plans. Are you hired to do the wedding photos?!!!! *hint
You did a fine job of capturing the subtle colors in those first shots. The brilliant sunsets are very fine images. I especially like the silhouetted building with the golden glow behind.

These are marvellous photos. I don't know how many times I have gone out to shoot one thing, but it has turned out badly but something else that caught my eye that wasn't too bad at all. Nothing like this really but the same principle.
These are totally amazing shots my friend. LOVE THEM!! Congrats to your Daughter. How exciting.
Wishing you a Happy Sunday..
Hugs~

What a stunning sunrises or sunsets. Wonderful to see and what a great color. This really enjoy Gail.

Your photos took my breath away! I have NOT figured out in any way how to take a decent dusk, evening, sunset shot.
It will take much more time and practice to achieve what you captured!

Great job of capturing the various stages of this sunset and thanks for sharing. Thank you also for bringing my attention the to problem with the tutorial on adding links in comments. I think I have fixed it and you should be able to see it better now here. Thanks again, and I hope to see more of your beautiful sunsets on Sunset Sunday.
So beautiful, so unbelievable beautiful.
