Another view from the i360 as the sun lowered in the sky over the English Channel.

On June 21st we walked along the shore to Hove to see the sunset. (Click to see them full screen.)

















It’s hard not to take pictures of lovely sunsets, no matter how cliché we know they are. And after seeing Penelope Umbrico’s post photographic 5,377,183 Suns (from Sunsets) from Flickr (Partial) 4/28/09, it’s that much harder. But I also like to photograph people in the act of photographing the sunset, like the one below where the subject is trying to catch the sinking sun in his hand.


Reminded me of The Prisoner.

Our 1-hour walk took us down to the seaside for a few blocks and we wee lucking enough to see this dramatic sun down.



A little over 12 years ago, on a wintery February day, I last took the EuroStar to Paris. Some may remember landscapes I posted from that trip, where I deliberately kept the shutter speed slower to bring some motion blur into the images, yielding a soft, impressionistic effect. This time, the EuroStar pictures were taken on the English side under a vibrant sunset hour. Click any image to see them all full-sized.
