Quiet Majesty

It was quite a lightshow this particular evening. Besides the crepuscular rays and the (I forget what they're called) luminous cloud edges, the unusually calm sound captured the colors of the sky beautifully.

Gorgeous sunset image, Mark, Not only the rays, but also the reflections on the water transmit peace and quiet. The colors are also excellent!

Glorious and majestic sunset. There should have been equally glorious and majestic music accompanying it; and maybe there was. I see a music note just to the left of top, center. Maybe a from a trumpet. (I have an G-15 and love the images I get from it-except I somehow got dust on the sensor). Excellent image.

You've got a fine sense of flow in the light on the clouds and lots of lovely reflected color in the water. Great catch, Mark.

Teriffic sky Mark. Just occasionally and particularly in the summer we get these amazing skies mature over Findhorn in Scotland. Love the diverging amber colour rays as the sun disappears beneath those heavy clouds.

Very nice, Mark. Great color across the board, here. The light is spectacular.

Mark, What a wonderful sunset. I love the golden reflection all across the water and also the ripples added some nice texture there as well. You really caught some great clouds and those light beams worked out so nice. Nice work!
