Sunset 17 July 2026

Sunsets have been a staple of my photography during recent heatwaves as dog walks have had to be late evening when the temperature has started to drop. Most have been just a glowing orb shining through the bland, murky haze that hangs over the horizon at the end of the day. Just occasionally, though, some wisps of cloud liven things up. And then there is the moment when, if you can position yourself right and the dog doesn't object, a pinnacle punctures the setting sun.

K3iii + DA55-300mm (original version). Underexposed to get some colour in the sun and the horizon as a silhouette. All best viewed large.

Thoughts, comments etc. welcome as usual.

I like the first which has a bit more clarity in the silhouetted horizon.

The second for me. It really does nail it. Although I like all of them. The third is also pretty special. Reminds me of some Japanese art I've looked at in the past. In sum, lovely work.

Beautiful set ! My pick-the first one with silhouetted trees, the Sun and the clouds in bg which make a beautiful image !

Beautiful!
Number 1 is a great sunset
Number 3 is a cracking photo

Great work. I particularly like 2 and 3 for the silhouetted buildings
Thanks for sharing
