Paint The Sky Challenge

One of the latest challenges is to submit a photo of a sunrise or sunset and there have been some wonderful photos put up for our enjoyment. @RaeLove began the challenge I believe. My photo was taken at Guilderton, north of Perth, Western Australia. I like how the fishermen – and women – are silhouetted against the evening sky. We spent a New Year there on year with friends and had a great time with much laughter and relaxation. Do you have nice sunset or sunrise to share with us?

Yours is different because of the fishermen - it's lovely. I won't be doing a post on this but here is one I took last summer:

@kevin1877uk Thank you Kevin. I've only got a basic point and shoot camera, so I thought it came out quite well.

Awesome shot, love the colours and the people fishing kinda silhouetted. I love sunset and sunrises they are both beautiful times of day. I'll have to do this challenge lol.

@TheHorse It's where I lived in Nottinghamshire, at place called Mansfield, in the UK. The photo was taken back in 2012 when I first had my Canon camera.

@kevin1877uk It's very pretty. The windmills remind me of Livermore CA, just South of here.

It certainly is. I love your photo too. You could turn it upside-down and not know the difference.

I have a lot of sunsets here on the Gulh Of Mexico., they all look alike because it's a massive huge body of water, so much warmer than Canada.

The coastlines seem to have more spectacular sunsets than in other areas - at least so it seems to me.

@JudyEv You're welcome. I really like the cloud formation in that picture. It looks like a lamp. It was taken in our place in the province.

I have some nice Golden Gate Bridge sunsets, but I've already used them often. Yours is pretty. It reminds me of a painting.

@JudyEv At an intuitive level, it reminds me of some famous painting, but I can't think of it right now.

@JudyEv - You have a great weekend, too. Here in the U.S., it is Superbowl weekend, which means lots of parties and a busy day on Sunday.

Some photos really convey a 'feeling' as well as a memory. Will keep an eye out for yours - I don't think I've seen it yet. There are a lot of sunset photos here now.

I'd have to search through the thousands of photos I've taken these past 35 years, there's bound to be one but honestly I just don't have time right now.

I thought it was a peaceful scene. People were fishing but also waiting for the ocean to break through the sand bar.
