The plan was simple enough: bike to a nearby viewpoint and watch the sunset. Two things could go wrong - the weather and me! During the day the forecasts kept saying that cloud would increase from six o'clock onwards. Those of you who've read this blog for a while will also have gathered that I'm a morning person and tend to run out of energy as the day progresses. At seven o'clock it was still sunny and I was still awake, so I set off to see what would happen. Here are the resultant photos.....

There was just one other person there enjoying the entertainment, another cyclist. There was also a walker who passed by (you've already seen him). Everyone else must have been at home watching TV.
Take care.

Glorious.
ReplyDeleteI am also a morning person, but our dawns are almost always more subdued than that gorgeous sunset.
Beautiful. Sunsets have been magnificent this year. Hope you have decent bicycle lights.
ReplyDeleteYour images are far more superior to anything that could be viewed on the TV.
ReplyDeleteHi John - the weather has been glorious and you picked an excellent day to venture out for your sunset bike ride searching for gold and coppery gold. Gorgeous - thank you ... Hilary
ReplyDeleteAnd to think you missed staying home to watch TV for this! I think we can modify your role as a morning person to someone who really knows how to bookend the day. Just a wonderful series of images, John. It is telling that only a couple of others were there to enjoy the splendour. We really have lost touch with nature.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, John. Thanks so much for riding out to capture these and share them with us. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful sunset there. I'm so glad you broke with tradition and headed out. My neighbor goes out in the evening and photographs the sunsets here and posts them on Facebook. It's the only way I get to see it. I'm a morning person too.
ReplyDeleteWell if tv is as bad there as it is here you definitely had the better viewing John. Gorgeous sunset skies like this are hard to beat 💜
ReplyDeleteYou had a grand show, John.
ReplyDeleteNice! Totally worth staying up for :)
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you went there, the change of colours is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite photo is the one with the man walking by.
You were amply rewarded for your efforts. I went out yesterday evening but, here at least, sunset was a very muted affair. We are too low down in the valley and when the sun disappears behind the hills it is actually not really near to 'setting'.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are gorgeous. You definitely went out at the right time. Thank you so much for sharing. You have a wonderful day, hugs, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - simply beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThe photos are absolutely beautiful, John. What channel did you say it was on? :) :)
ReplyDeleteYou had the best show, I should do that again myself
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, as always. Thank you for changing your habits to photograph the sunset for us.
ReplyDeleteThese photos were worth the evening venture John..
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteSeeing such a beautiful sky must have felt great.
ReplyDeleteOh, this was so enjoyable! I now run out of energy by evening...that is why I dont go to the strip pit area as much as I used to. But it is so entertaining when i do. We used to go, and stop at the edge of the road, get out and just watch the sky show.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you went out to capture these beautiful images, John. Like yourself, I prefer early mornings but lately have been watching the night skies as well even though I do not have any similar sunset skies to show.
ReplyDeleteWell worth heading out for, beautiful scenes!
ReplyDeleteSome great snaps here.
