Sunset that very special moment in a day

The setting sun has for generations made people stop, take a breath and much like burning fire  it holds your attention long after it has disappeared over the horizon.

 Over the past 8 years I was blessed to view many sunsets, today I would like to share some of these moments with you, and perhaps invite you to vote the sunset that you the viewer find special.

sunset over the Atlantic Ocean near Langebaan on the Cape West Coast
Sunset and a glass of bubbly just right for each other

The setting sun near Pretoria
we are standing on the top of the Swartberg Pass admiring the Sunset and the Moon rising

After a huge thunderstorm the sun and clouds added to a special moment in Kruger Park
Being on top of Table Mountain during sunset, yes it is a WoW moment
Sometimes the air is so clear that you have a silver sunset
High clouds change colour several times during sunset, to chose the right moment is a challenge
only Gods paintbrush can do justice to the colours

Silhouetted trees at sunset always make for a good photo
We were on the Southern Cape Coast when I caught this sunset
The Pastel colours after the sun has gone behind Table Mountain asked to be photographed
the same evening from a different spot
they where mesmerized
reflections during sunset at Natures Valley near Plettenbergbay
Sometimes one find that the sunset will enhance colour, this this "fire poker" bloom cape out just perfect

Sunset over a Farm dam near Oudtshoorn

The Twelve Apostles bathed in the setting sun
We were in a Private game park in Limpopo Province
A boat cruise on a lake and the setting sun, just magic!!
Sun flares created by the Camera lens gives a double sun impression
The Africa thorn tree at sunset perhaps one of Africa's best known images
Looking back towards the Blyderiver Canyon during sunset makes the Mountains much softer
Clouds can turn into Gold during Sunset
Sunset in the Northern Cape with Quiver trees as the standout feature
Even grass can become like a golden carpet
Stormy sunsets gives a dramatic atmosphere
The sun sets the horizon on "fire"
A red dune, a setting sun and a wedding anniversary, moments that never will be forgotten
Near Keetmans hoop in Namibia you will find the Playground of the giants, sunset among the Boulders and quiver trees are special
Near Sossusvlei in Namibia we found sunsets can be unbelievable

A moment of silence in the presence of great beauty
Africa the continent of sunsets
