The harbour, the opera house, the bridge, the lights of Luna Park, the flawless Sydney sky.
I never get tired of this view, especially at sunset.
I took this photo on 28 March while attending Opera on the Harbour (La Bohème), which I’ll post about in a few days.
Palm trees, water, beach umbrella, stunning sunset.
What more do you need for the perfect Fiji sunset? (Ooh, I know, a cocktail!)
One of the observatories perched atop Mauna Kea.
When you can look down on the tops of clouds, you’re usually in a plane. Unless you’re on Mauna Kea, 4207 m (13,802 ft) above sea level on the island of Hawaii. “With its high elevation, dry environment, and stable airflow, Mauna Kea’s summit is one of the best sites in the world for astronomical observation. Since the creation of an access road in 1964, thirteen telescopes funded by eleven countries have been constructed at the summit. The Mauna Kea Observatories are used for scientific research across the electromagnetic spectrum and comprise the largest such facility in the world.” (source) Tourists, though, are generally more interested in the sunsets-and-stargazing tours.
They’re pink, they’re fluffy.
Cotton candy, candy floss, fairy floss — all names for the same thing. But these fluffy pink clouds won’t rot your teeth! Shot from my apartment in February.
The falling rain is visible over the band of sunset colour.
A rainy sunset in Darwin.
All this tropical sunset needs is a glass of bubbly to enjoy with it. (And of course, me being me, there was one!)
Currawong on a TV antenna, against blazing clouds at sunset.
Currawongs are a type of black bird, similar in appearance to ravens and crows. At sunset in Sydney, their haunting calls herald the onset of night. You can listen to one here.
This is the same sunset featured in this photo.
