Between The Sunset And The Sea - A Sunset Day


Item 34. Take a good photo of the sunset from my front room window.

This item has been a bit of an going challenge for me. I moved into the flat about a year ago, and for 12 months have been treated to spectacular sunsets in the skies over Tunbridge Wells. Even on the days the clouds don't turn pink and orange, the blue merging from light to dark has been breathtaking.

Can I capture this in a photograph? No. The colours never seem right, I always get too many trees, you can't get round the telegraph wires being in the way. No photo has been quite right.

Tonight I used the theory that if I took lots of photos, at least one had to be ok! And I think its worked. Its not a brilliant photo, the telegraph wires are still in the way for a start, but I do think it might be the best I'm going to get from this specific window.

I spent a much needed calming half an hour gazing out the window, taking pictures and thanking God for the amazing show.
