Default Beach sunsets
Hi guys,
Am madly spending every minute at the beach at the moment (such a chore) and dared to shoot into the sun for sunsets.

Caught a few this weekend, one day glorious, the other, not so much...

I always seem to get a little torn when I see people feeding hot chips to the seagulls. It was really windy this afternoon, but the birds wouldn't seem to listen if you told them not to take them.



There was only five minutes difference and a 120 degree turn between the next two pictures. Sunset over Kirra.






Sunset tonight over Surfers Paradise. Well, the funpark with the bungy platform and such.




Cheers
Jane
