Sunset from my back verandah .....Ahhhhh

[[1ponders]]

While we may have been cursed over the past few months with very little day or night observing, the sun put on a real show yesterday afternoon (and again this afternoon) putting the clouds to good use.

These are mosaics compiled using Autostitch from jpeg straight from a Canon 300D with a 28-90 zoom lens.

Top shots Paul. Lovely colours. What I would give for a horizon like that.

Thanks guys. I'd love to be able to put it to good use at nights, but I'll take what I can get atm. :lol: We've been here since the 10th of December last year and I haven't had a nights use of it yet, except to test some gear for a couple of hours.

Lovely sunset Paul, it's time like that you can never have a lens wide enough. :camera:

I'm glad you captured it Paul.
Yesterday evening the sky was beautiful, but cactus hour was upon us and I couldn't spare the time appreciate it.

Lovely capture Paul, nice colours.

Well done and thanks for posting.

Paul,
You should salvage some of the timber from Ron's bridge and build a log cabin observatory.
That would look awesome.

[h0ughy]

Log cabin - alone in the wilderness - dark skies - sounds like grizzly adams!!;)

Well we had Grizzly Adams sunsets again last night. I'll get the pictures mosaiced tonight.

I've though about that Jeanette (not the observatory part but collecting the timber), I could make a few retaining walls and a really solid chook pen :lol:
