Just Sharing Last Night's Sunset with You

I took a short walk to the mailbox last night to pick up the mail. I had a magazine and a package to carry back home, but I had my camera bag strapped on my arm just in case. I could not resist taking a slight detour to another block to get a view of the setting sun. It no longer goes down between the two trees across from my house the way it did in summer, so my sky shots aren't quite the same as they used to be.
We haven't had as many clouds lately, either, so the sunsets weren't as interesting. But last night we had a few, so I decided to take the photo I'm sharing here. I put my mail down on the street every time I took a photo. Not ideal, but it worked.
Have you noticed any change in the position of the sun in the sky since the change of season? Are your sunsets interesting this week because of cloud formations? How often do you make a point of observing the sunset?
I consider a sunset a free gift of beauty from God. Everyone gets to see it who can get outdoors, regardless of race, gender, financial position, or nationality.

Lovely photo. Our days have been gray and colorless now but last week here is the sunrise I caught early in the morning. By sunset time the sun had left the sky and it was gray and cloudy.

I hardly see the sunset living in this city but when I'm out on a trip to beautiful islands, I make sure to watch the sunset. It's one of my favorite view to watch. And here's a photo of the sunset in our recent trip.

That's a different kind of sunset - as though it is somewhere in the middle of mountains. I am a sunrise person and have loads of photos taken right from our garden;
But for a change I took this sunset photo

This is a lovely photo. Clouds often make for a more spectacular sunset. We found it strange when we were travelling in the northern hemisphere to have the sun following a different path to what we were used to in the southern hemisphere. We could never work out where to park our motor-home so that we'd be in the shade at a certain time.

I think most sunsets where clouds are present but not covering the sun are beautiful, and no two are the same.

It is a beautiful sunset. I admit I haven't paid attention to them, though I have seen some great dawns when coming home from the Y in the morning. Right now it's still too dark for dawn, so yes, I have seen a change in the position of the sun.
It is definitely a free gift from God. Your picture is beautiful.

I used to see those when I lived in Templeton and drove home at just the right time to see them.

You captured those final moments before the world is plunged into darkness.
