Nearly the first of the last sunsets for 2008. All point east between us and the dateline would have been earlier but we weren't far behind. At least we were ahead of Australia. When I first saw this evolving I was a bit disgruntled I had not got off my petite backside and found a different vantage spot. I was about to draw the curtains to dispell the agony but then I thought I might as well at least go out on the balcony and get yet another shot from there.
