Southern California's been experiencing the humidity of Hawaii the past couple of days. I'd read somewhere that it creates wonderful sunsets, so I gave it a try this evening. Hope you like the results.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

    OMG!! Look at those clouds and sunset colors!
Amazing image, Mary. Simply amazing with those colors and the beautiful silhouettes.

Funny you mention Hawaii because that was my first thought that this was from Hawaii.

And it's so strange, isn't it. Some people have started growing grapes for wine here in Denmark. That would have been impossible 10 years or so ago.

Mary the results just AWESOME. We get the same type in Florida morning & evening . Also on LI where the HUMIDITY is the thing that makes the HOT TEMPS so Difficult to Deal With

Was in the Marines and lived in Southern Cali for a few years after I got out. Beaches and sunrises and sunsets there are always a special treat. But you show that the view can be gorgeous and spectacular right in the neighborhood. I love that silhouetted palm tree and then that dazzling, beautiful, dramatic sky. Gorgeous colors.
You take care dear friend.

Can you believe Mary, we've been having the same sort of sunsets, between rain! What beautiful colours! Love the silhouette of the palms too!

Wonderful image, Mary. I'm glad you were able to take advantage of tropic like conditions we've had over the last two weeks. I have two tall palms in my back yard and the shot feels like home. Thanks. Great silhouette!

Better pack a lunch before you read my reaction to "Foot Therapy" in your marvelous gallery.

Incredible sunset colors, Mary, beautifully offset by the dynamic silhouettes! I really like the way you placed the silhouettes in the corner of the frame.
