This is my entry for Sunday's #goldenhourphotography contest

“Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully.”
~~ Kristen Butler

Enjoying those remaining summer beach days here in Southern California. Here we are in Ocean Park in Santa Monica, where much of my photos are from. This beach has some remarkable history including where Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek of the Doorsmet, hung out and livedjust a few blocks away in the summer of 1965 before moving to Venice Beach.

Monumental!!!

Thank you my brotha!

Crazy shot brotha on how you caught the VB! Those colors as well as our not often seen summer clouds! Don't you ever work? :)

You saw the volleyball! I took like 20 clicks before the sun went down. Those guys were not that good. Re Work... that's what mom and everyone else says! I'm working now. You should have come down this weekend.

I know you are a night owl. I need to come down there and put on a VB clinic... maybe meet some birdies ;)

Given your height I suspect they can likely show you how to play. Stick to hockey! Come down sunday

Wtf! I'm taller than you! I'll be down there on sunday... maybe some rollerhockey.

Fabulous massive orange sky :))

It certainly was! by all means not your typical summer sunset here in southern cali.

Really good timing of your picture, you can see all the colors starting with yellow, red, orange, and violet :)

Thank you. As you know, the window to capture shots like this a not too long. Fortunately I get many chances. Did you notice the volleyball?

Onla after seeing the arrow on one of the comment, but on enlargement it is very obvious and you can recognise hte shape as well as people and bet. That is really a great step in the development of cameras!

It is quite remarkable the technology. Can't imagine trying to take that with a Kodak Instamatic!

Beautiful photo, @armentor

Sunset have attracted many artists.
I like Savrasov's painting by our Russian artist.
He wrote it in the early 1870s.

It is a very beautiful sight to see @armentor this world we live in is really beautiful indeed.

Thank you and well stated regarding our beautiful world.

Yes, sometimes I wished that the earth would not rotate as fast and we human beings would live much more years with a good health and enjoying how the sun makes us happy with its going and coming @armentor

Yes that would be nice to have more hours in a day!

Maybe in heaven there are more beautiful things that we can enjoy, things that are not sen yet, things that are not felt, tasted, touched a paradise incomparable.

Great picture! It almost looks like some kind of apocalypse with UFO .
