Especially during the rainy season in Costa Rica you never know when you're going to get a great sunset, but you can almost always count on them being unique, even if they are not as spectacular as the one in the panorama below.
Go ahead and open it up for the full-size shot. It was brilliant and fiercely colorful. I captured this one on "film" because of how far north it stretched, which is unusual. It ran all the up and past Cerro de La Muerte. Where the foreground cliff is on the right side of the photo, where the cliff intersects the mountains behind it, that's due north.
Because I still had the camera's memory card with this sunset's image plugged into the laptop upstairs, I didn't capture last night's sunset, which was also unique. In the foreground of that display was a rain shower. The streaks of rain as they fell were painted reddish-orange. In the opposite direction a double rainbow encircled the eastern sky. I'm always torn between running around putting the camera back together, but not wanting to miss a second of the display, because it can pass so quickly. Next time ... I promise.

Hello Casey,
ReplyDeleteThat was a very nice shot. I know how satisfying it is to capture the beauty of nature. When I go to the beaches, I love to wait for the moment of the sun sinking into the horizon and I would take as much shots as I could.
Very nice shot Casey. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI hate to think how many sunset shots I have from Tamarindo Beach. It becomes a daily habit to take time for a walk on the beach at sunset simply because they are so beautiful.

ReplyDeleteHi Casey, lovely picture and great minds think alike, well almost, I made a sunset cake ;-) but your post made me smile as I remember a really stunning sunset on Corfu and arguing with my hubby who was going to get the camera back in the apartment. By the time we decided it has gone - so a valuable lesson that the most spectacular sunsets are best just enjoyed as you see them. Now I'm going to say Drive safely !
ReplyDeleteI love watching the sunset when visiting somewhere with a great horizon and taking a great photo is so satisfying. You've got a great pic here.
