Day 124: Of sunsets

Sunsets are probably the most common photograph taken from our balcony. When we first moved in (and especially after getting what is now our much-maligned "old" camera) I took lots and lots of sunset photos. Even now I have to work hard at resisting the temptation to record every single colourful sunset I see. So it takes something special to get excited about a sunset and coming home on the ferry, tonight's sunset was spectacular. Great colours, but even more importantly, a few clouds in just the right places to catch the pink light against the deepening blue sky. Our timing was perfect as the ferry left Active Pass and sailed into the open waters of the Salish Sea (or Strait of Georgia depending on which name you prefer). The port side of the ship was pretty crowded...
