I'm not very fond of this because of the reflection, but the color is so pretty, I'm sending it anyway. It looks like there are 2 suns..

Carolyn, I'm starting to wonder if the sky isn't blue in Oklahoma! :-) Wonderful color. The reflection is pretty cool as well. #44729

Cheers!! Jeff #44730

What an unusual reflection! I rather like the effect. You are absolutely right..the color IS pretty! What a beauiful backyard! #44739

Donna R. Moratelli May 27, 2019 0

WOW!! This is beautiful. The big flairing sun is a bonus. California is in for a treat when the sunset queen arrives! Go get em' girl! #44740

Joy Brown May 27, 2019 0

I agree with all of the above! Great shot. #44761

Carolyn, you know this isn't fair to have such immediate access to every sunset :0) Donna is right you'll need to check those incredible California sunsets. #44763

When I lived in California for 30 years, they never had any decent sunsets, unless there was a fire or something. Hoping for better luck, but we'll be mostly going through the valley and the desert,(ugly part) so I'm not holding my breath! #44775

Carol Engstrom May 27, 2019 0

Carolyn--this is stunning! I love the clouds and of course the brilliant color. Oh, and now it is confirmed that I live in the ugly part of California. LOL It certainly isn't the mountains or the coast! #44841

Carol, there aren't any pretty parts except San Francisco and Yosemite! LOL.. #44883

Too funny, Carolyn. I really need to get you out here for a real visit sometime and see if I can change your mind. I bet you could get some pictures that made it look like it was pretty anyway! #44913

Carolyn M. Fletcher May 27, 2019 0

You got a deal! I'm just kidding, of course..I know there are good photo ops just about everywhere...even in the Mojave..LOL..I'll try real hard to find IT, too.. I'll e-mail you when I get there and let you know if we are passing your way or what.. #44923

Tracy L. Kolisnyk May 27, 2019 0

Carolyn, this is unbelievably beautiful! The sky is just amazing.... Now this sunset is making a statement... Look at that exclamation mark reflection!!! Very cool, Love it!! :) #44928

Carolyn M. Fletcher May 27, 2019 0

Thanks, Tracy. I never noticed the exclamation mark til you said that! #44937

Carol Engstrom May 27, 2019 0

Be looking forward to hearing from you--hope your route takes you this direction. #44942

Donna R. Moratelli May 27, 2019 0

Carolyn, People that arn't photographers DON'T SEE like we do. We are a breed apart from them. We see EVERYTHING in a different light. When you go to California this time you'll see a sunset there like you never imagined was possible. YOu didn't see like a photographer THEN and you probably wern't looking for the colors and lines and reflections and peeking sun behind and golden rimmed cloud or that rim of light on the sand that you have captured so well in the past. Look up! It's going to be a great sunset! Just pack the camera and don't shoot during lift off or landing! Try some other kind of shots too. Watch the people and shoot them for a chage of pace too! #44978

Tracy L. Kolisnyk May 27, 2019 0

LOL, Carolyn, I'm glad you see it too... I know it's upside down but it's still an exclamation mark rather than an i! LOL :) #45021

Gary H. Minish May 27, 2019 0

Gorgeous sunset, Carolyn! The bar of light is what makes it unique! Very nicely captured. #45067

Carolyn M. Fletcher May 27, 2019 0

Thanks, Carol, Donna, Tracy and Gary!
Donna, I'll try to find some time to shoot something. I hope I can borrow a car and get to S.F. Would love to do that if I could happen to hit a nice day..I just have so little time. Bummer.. #45106

Donna R. Moratelli May 27, 2019 0

Yep, There is NEVER enough time for anything! #45147

Donna R. Moratelli May 27, 2019 0

Carolyn M. Fletcher May 27, 2019 0

Thanks, Gary, but this is the first sunset I've had in the finals..had one sunrise, but the rest have all been cats. Usually sunsets don't do very well, not that I care, cause I love them anyway and will keep on doing them as long as I can!!! #54860

Great warmth in this shot, congrats Carolyn :) #56236

Carolyn M. Fletcher May 27, 2019 0

Thanks, Clifton. I have about 3 versions of it, didn't like the first so cropped it 2 different ways and this was the one I liked best, even though I wasn't all that happy with this one, either. #56262
