Anatomy of a Sunset 2

Here is a closer view of the sun while it is about to descend in to the ocean. We prefer some clouds over the ocean rather than a clear day, as the marine layer of clouds in the distance adds a marbling effect to soften the intensity of the sun.

The colors I am showing throughout this series of sunset shots are 100% natural. I have not photoshopped or otherwise edited the photos in any way. What you see is exactly how the photos were captured by the camera and is the color that wee see many evenings.

It is no wonder that the Tamarindo area of Costa Rica is referred to as the "Gold Coast."

On our travel photo site, Viva la Voyage, we are showing aerial photos this week of an active volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.
