Default As the sun went down...

tonight it put on a brilliant display. These are the first shots I have taken with my new 18-200mm Nikon lens. The last rays of the sun as it set bathed the trees in its light making a spectacular sight.

A view from the top end of our driveway.

Sunset upon the trees

The trees in the neighbours paddock.
Sunset hitting the tree

The view from the dining room.

The last bit of light.

Thanks for looking.

You are so lucky the sun had its Sunday best on, great lighting and composition. The colours a fab... You live in a beautiful place.

Stunning! What a beautiful driveway you have. I'd put that first one up on my wall, so I could show it off to every one who visits. What an idyllic setting in which you live.
