This evening's sunset

There was a stunning sunset this evening.
Of course, I would be in town, doing a bit of post-Christmas shopping so no beautiful views, just this quick shot taken looking from Park Street towards Anne Street.

Olympus OM-D E-M5
1/100s f/3.2 at 17.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

This is so nice. It reminds us that sunsets in an urban environment can be just as beautiful as those at the beach or in the mountains.

I think it works perfectly and what a beautiful sky! v

In town or not, you got a great capture of this gorgeous sunset. I actually like all the lights, signs and buildings framing it. V.

You got a good shot of it. I like the street lamps and Heineken sign too! :) V

I don't know about "no beautiful views"; I like the quaintness of these older, smaller buildings with patches of light here and there instead of wall-to-wall neon. It may well be a "grass is always greener" phenomenon but I think that sometimes we start to feel that our own surroundings get to be mundane (in my case, beaches at home and skyscrapers at work, in your case smaller towns), and it's harder to see them through the eyes of those who have a different standard environment. I see plenty of beauty in this shot.

At least you get to see a sunset - we're so stuck in dull clouds and gray overcast :-(

A gorgeous sunset with such beautiful colors! I love the juxtaposition nature and the town. A marvelous image! V

The in town sunset shot is very pretty. I think I would have gone into the Pub advertising Heineken and had one to celebrate! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
