Sunset on the Ridge 1.8.12

I promise I take pictures of things other than sunsets :o). I think my fascination with sunsets stems from my love of the ocean and beach and the countless visits there. Many of those visits ended with a sunset. There truly is no place like the western coast to watch the sun go down. Now I simply love watching the sky change colors as the sun disappears below the horizon. This sunset shot is from yesterday. I almost didn't have the opportunity to witness it, but luckily for me the call of the sunset is too strong :o). My goal was to capture the range of colors from blue to yellow to orange. I also wanted to communicate the beauty of the clouds and the stillness of standing on this ridge with only a few other sunset viewers. I left it SOOC as I love the light. I plan on showcaseing some non-sunset pictures tomorrow, but more sunset photos just might make an appearance later in the week!
