Perhaps because I live in Florida one of my main subjects are sunsets. Good sunsets can be a little elusive. Only about half of the time I go out do I even get one due to offshore cloud layers. And then much less than half of those are what I’d call “good ones”. Maybe it’s like fishing, you’ll usually get a nibble and occasionally get fish. But if you keep doing it you eventually get the “big one”. I hope the fisherman in this photo was as lucky as me.
Last Rays of the Sun
The last rays of the day before dusk at Fort DeSoto park in St Petersburg Florida. Everything was idyllic on this evening and I thought this is a moment I want to remember. Of course I was busy taking pictures, but I have this souvenir. For me, just being there to take the picture was enjoyment enough.
Just Before Sunset

Usually, due to procrastination, I arrive at the beach only a few minutes before sunset. This time is was thirty minutes. For me that’s good. Anyway, a couple of years ago I shot this same scene. My style changes over time and so revisiting the same location provides an opportunity to see it with new eyes. I’ll probably come here again in another year or two and do the same thing all over again. And who knows what it’ll look like then.
