Sunset 4

"Sizzle." That's the sound we pretend we hear as the sun hits the water at the horizon line. Sunset around here can be a far more fiery time than not. Compared with yesterday's blue and restful scene, this is a much warmer sky, and cloudless; thus a much more orange sunset than yesterday's -- BTW, I composed this image so it might suggest two broad horizontal stripes and a ball.
Florida sunsets change daily, and with the seasons. That's part of the magic.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.
