#sunset

We had a nice #sunset today. There were a few clouds and the sun hid behind them shortly before sunset.

Photos get pretty dramatic when you zoom in and the camera tries to adjust white balance. It wasn't quite that orange,
enter image description here
just a little bit. The sunset itself was quite "regular" then,
enter image description here
but zoomed in the colours turned dramatic again.

Not regular at all however was that bright area on the sea after the sun went down. I guess sunlight got reflected by clouds we couldn't see because they were hidden by clouds we could see.

So I quickly went to the harbour to get a better view from a slightly higher vantage point than the beach. Remember: The sun was down already, but there was a bright patch of sea, while everything around was regular dark.

I took a final shot of this fishing boat leaving the harbour with lights already turned on, while the ships out there in that bright patch had not turned their lights on yet. I don't think I've seen such a phenomenon before.
