I am thinking that this is one of the most mellow of all sunsets. I find it soothing to look at.

Superb photo. Cheers Marilyn

Many thanks, Syl and Jim. I didn't know whether my compact camera could handle the contrast, but it did better than I expected. Cheers, Marilyn

Marilyn, this shot stands out among the many sunset shots that are being posted. I feel like the sun is being cupped between nature's loving hands...a bit poetic for me, but sincere.

Cheers,

Hank

Splendid of the photo! Beautiful picture!

Best wishes! Vyacheslav

Thak you, Hank and Vyacheslav.

I appreciate your appreciation, Hank. I regard this as my camera's gift to me. The sun was still high enough and bright enough so that I could not--and dared not--study the scene for any length of time. The camera has let me enjoy the nuances of the view--nature's loving hands.
