On Tuesday evenings, I have dinner with some girlfriends. All winter, it is usually dark when I leave the house. Recently, however, the sun has been setting as I head over to the beach town where we meet. This was what the sunset looked like this evening. It brightens my evening to see a sunset like this!

Wow, what a beautiful pic that is! That is just too gorgeous! I love sunset pics like that. I think it is such a beautiful view of what God can create for us to enjoy. He's such an awesome God, that, it's unbelievable at the things that He can do for us and show us! Thanks so much for sharing this lovely pic of the sunset at your hometown! God Bless!!!

@DeborahDiane Yes, Sunsets are one of them. And rainbows, just about everything in nature God has blessed us with so that we can enjoy it while we are here on Earth.

Have you noticed that it stays light until after 5:30 now? I love the longer days. Pretty soon we will be springing forward, and it will be light even later. Great shot by the way!

Yes, I love the longer days, too! I just wish we would get some rain this spring.

@ElizabethWallace - Drat is right. I have been very disappointed with El Nino so far. Even our snow pack is falling behind.

@DeborahDiane Within the next two weeks there are two days of rain predicted, but the percent is only about 40%, so there won't be much. Drat.

Lovely sunset. I find it difficult to capture a sunset or sunrise....that doesn't keep me from trying.

You have a good evening, too. The wonderful thing about our beautiful world is that incredible sunsets and sunrises can be seen all over the place.

@JudyEv - Sometimes we all forget to just slow down and enjoy the sunsets. The world would be a better place if we did!

That is interesting that your sunsets are not usually as intense in India. I hope you get to the mountains once in a while to see them from there.

Beautiful! I always loved the sunsets in CA, especially when the sun appears to sink into the ocean.

There is a restaurant in San Diego called The Green Flash. Occasionally, just as the sun disappears below the ocean, there will be a greenish flash of light. I love to watch the sun set over the ocean, too.

Actually sunrise and sunset both are really a nice creation of nature. I love to see rise and sunset everyday. But specially in beach its more attractive to enjoy the sunset .I feel thrill every time
