Default mating ritual? um let's turn out the light!

I found these two pretty much by accident and thought that I would invade their privacy by taking their picture and posting it on the internet.......

DSC_7194

Um, lets move on......I wanted to go out and get a sunset tonight since I am off work today but the clouds were noticeably absent and it was readily apparent that no glorious sunset with majestic hues was going to be in my area. So I decided to see if I could work with a little water and silhouettes......the only color coming from that ball of fire with no clouds to reflect it. These are a little dark but like I said......a little water and silhouettes. These 3 shots pretty much sum up what I could do with what was available.

Oh Patrick, shame on you, spying on those little bugs, but I am glad that you did coz it is an amazing capture. Your sunsets are gorgeous buddy. I just love the colours, silhouette and reflections in that one and great how you have the sun going right the way down and keeping all those gorgeous colours..Amazing stuff here Patrick.

Jake.
