a gift of warmth.
i am standing on the ridge overlooking the pacific ocean. the water slowly turned a beautiful amethyst as the sun went down in a blaze of gold.
Ah....how sweet. A sunset for K@. This is a great image. Fabulous sunset.

@Tammy/Cricket: thank you my friend, K@ had mentioned being overcome with cold and snow, and i am blessed to live in a most beautiful place and wanted to gift her with its warmth.
Very nice sunset, not something I've tried yet. Did you use any filters or was this taken as seen?

@Jon: thank you, my friend. when I bought the camera the fellow gave me a "cloud filter" which remains in place 24/7..(maybe that's a bad idea?.. i frankly don't understand its purpose.) anyway, i also discovered that raising "clarity and vibrance" a little in photoshop got rid of the grey cast and allowed more color to present itself.
Wonderful shot, Jim! Been there and seen that, so I've no doubt it's real. Hard to tell... maybe too many clouds on the horizon proper... but was there any chance for a green flash during that sunset? Thanks for sharing your good fortune and skill!
