Favorite Photo of the Week: Sunset from Mount Constitution 12.04.11

I am so glad it is Friday! I am looking forward to a weekend of Christmas decorating and trying my hand at holiday bokeh :o). Before beginning the weekend, I reflect back on the my less than full week of photos and pick a favorite. I have two. The first one I posted on Sunday for the Project 64 Challenge: Black. It was taken on Orcas Island on the way down from Mount Constitution. The second I didn't get a chance to post, but it was taken about 5 minutes later of the same sunset. In both cases I did minor work to the saturation, vibrance, blacks and contrast in post processing just to refine the colors and the silhouettes. Is there anything more stunning? I just cannot get enough of sunsets and silhouettes :o)!
