I was comfortably kicking back in our motel room when I heard the ding of an incoming text message. It was from my wife (who was out walking the dog): "You need to come out and look at the sky." The sky had been overcast earlier, and I figured the sunset would be dull and gray, but my wife is not one to exaggerate. Overcoming the inertia that had set in, I headed out the door.

| My wife walking the dog. Now that's a nice sky! |

| Lots of people were out watching the sun drop into the Pacific! |

| The end of a perfect day! |
Thanks for stopping by!!
Linking with Skywatch Friday.
...GREAT saved by a text! Over the years I've learned not to rule out a sunset until the fat lady sings. By the way the last photo is my favorite!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteI can tell why you are so pleased to have followed your wife’s suggestion. The last picture says it all.
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry… : ) ... the sunset… absolutely fabulous! It reminds me of the beautiful sunset I saw in Clearwater, Florida. Breathtaking!
Great shots! I especially like the two with the water crashing into the rocks.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pictures--- It's not easy to get pictures like that at sunset! Well done!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Gorgeous sunset photos ~ Like the splash of surf caught in the photos ~

Aren't you glad you overcame your inertia? Spectacular sunset, and the people watching must have been fun, too.
ReplyDeleteDearest Peter,
ReplyDeleteYour wife was spot on with messaging you about this remarkable sunset!
Great photos.
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteGood think you didn't feign sleep and miss it! My favorite is the next to the last with the water over the sunset.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully colourful captures!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's an amazing sunset! Glad your wife tipped you off.
ReplyDeleteLucky you with such a caring wife. Classic sunset beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sunset! 😍 These are the little things that make life so pleasurable.
ReplyDeleteGreat sunset shots. Nice to be reminded of the earth's beauty on a grey December morning in England.
ReplyDeleteAmazing sunset views, Great pics
ReplyDeleteEinzigartige Aufnahmen!
ReplyDeleteSuper photos. I love the waves crashing on the rocks :-D
ReplyDeleteThere were just enough clouds of the right type to make for a beautiful sunset. Your choice to photograph the waves crashing and crashing on the rocks completes the scene!
ReplyDeleteWaves and sunset over an ocean, something we don't see here on the left coast. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThere's absolutely no way I could hold a camera steady squatting like that! I'd be spinning like a top. :-)
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous beach sunset and you captured it well!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that is a great sunset. Spectacular color and it is cool so many people noticed.
ReplyDeleteI must admit you guys do have the most fantastic Sunsets. The closest we come is In Key west seeing the sunset over the Gulf. OR of course at sea... [-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work...
Wow! Your wife signaled at right time! That would have been annoying miss
ReplyDeleteOH my!!! Thanks to you sweet wife, it would have been a pity missing these awesome impressions. Love all of your images!
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! I love your Shangri La! Seeing sights like this beats "comfortably sitting back" anytime!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day - and yay your wife thinks "blog/pics" - Ingo often does, too :-)
ReplyDeleteOh yesss, that's a real WOW sunset! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteAll the best from cold Austria and have a nice Advent season,

Beautiful photos indeed.
ReplyDeleteWow, apart from being aaaaages since I visited your blog, the sunset photos are AWESOME! Bully for your wife nudging you to come out and thanks to you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skies that look like they are on fire. No doubt it was a stunning day the next morning.
ReplyDeleteThat was a spectacular sunset. I'm glad you were able to capture it for us.
ReplyDeleteI love sunsets and that one was extra beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLook at that sunset! Truly memorable. Happy Holidays. Thanks for all the wonderful photos you shared this year.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
A great sunset indeed.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays, Peter! 🎅
That's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch stunning pictures!
ReplyDeleteJust happening to wander outside when it’s warmish out at this time of year is something in your favour. But I’m not jealous. 🤓. /AC
ReplyDeleteSweet, your wife really did come good for you, I think my wife would have taken some photos then let me know about the sunset. It's been pretty dull here of late hardly any sun to mention
ReplyDeleteThe sun hasn't set on your photo safari adventures. Happy desert trails in 2024!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, that was worth getting off the couch for!
ReplyDeleteGreat sunset!
