Cool Sunset over Arran

A quick run down the coast to take this sunset. Of course forgot my tripod, I think I might be suffering from old timers disease.

Very Nice Bill, Love the dark foreground and the Mountains in the distant and the beautiful Sunset colors in the sky. Good job hand held.
Thanks for sharing this
Michael

A wonderful picture, Bill. If the "57"s your age, you've got a way to go yet to catch me - so don't worry, I've forgotten the camera's battery before now.

You certainly don't suffer alone! Nor did your photo suffer from the lack of a tripod (although that was lesson #1 at my recent workshop--tripod, tripod, tripod). Oh well, next time. The distant mountains have a dream-like quality because the texture of these are so different from multi-faceted textures in your foreground. That is a very nice effect. I love, too, the variety of blues from the Robin Egg blue of the sky to the Ultramarine of the shoreline. It's an "Ahhhhhhh" photo. Very restful.
