Was just arriving home from work on Sunday, when the sun briefly broke through the clouds, reflecting a beautiful warmth onto the brickwork of our street. Rushed indoors grabbed the K5 and just managed to get a few frames of before the sun vanished.

This shot is the edited one, have removed two lamp post's from the shot.

And this is the image with the lampost in, the first lamp post was next to the house on the left hand side of shot.

My piccies.

That's gorgeous. The wires really add something to the composition. Good idea cloning out the lamp tho.

It takes a very special sunset to grab my interest. This does it.

You caught the moment wonderfully. And I bet it was just a moment. Low sun waits for no man.

Excellent shot ! It just goes to show how great light can lift even the mundane to extraordinary heights.

Right place, right time and what a fantastic result it has produced.

Thank's for the comments folk's, as said it was, "right moment and time". Have missed many shot's with fleeting light and not having the cam to hand. Worked out right this time though.

What a great shot. Super composition and lovely light. Better than your average sunset!

Best wishes,

Andrew
