I'm not very fond of this because of the reflection, but the color is so pretty, I'm sending it anyway. It looks like there are 2 suns..

True Gold, I love it Carolyn. Viveca. #19689Bob Fowler May 26, 2019
Carolyn, I'm starting to wonder if the sky isn't blue in Oklahoma! :-) Wonderful color. The reflection is pretty cool as well. #44729Jeff Dykes May 26, 2019

What an unusual reflection! I rather like the effect. You are absolutely right..the color IS pretty! What a beauiful backyard! #44739Donna R. Moratelli May 26, 2019
WOW!! This is beautiful. The big flairing sun is a bonus. California is in for a treat when the sunset queen arrives! Go get em' girl! #44740Joy Brown May 26, 2019
I agree with all of the above! Great shot. #44761Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
Carolyn, you know this isn't fair to have such immediate access to every sunset :0) Donna is right you'll need to check those incredible California sunsets. #44763Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
When I lived in California for 30 years, they never had any decent sunsets, unless there was a fire or something. Hoping for better luck, but we'll be mostly going through the valley and the desert,(ugly part) so I'm not holding my breath! #44775Carol Engstrom May 26, 2019
Carolyn--this is stunning! I love the clouds and of course the brilliant color. Oh, and now it is confirmed that I live in the ugly part of California. LOL It certainly isn't the mountains or the coast! #44841Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
Carol, there aren't any pretty parts except San Francisco and Yosemite! LOL.. #44883Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
Carol, there aren't any pretty parts except San Francisco and Yosemite! LOL.. #44884Carol Engstrom May 26, 2019
Too funny, Carolyn. I really need to get you out here for a real visit sometime and see if I can change your mind. I bet you could get some pictures that made it look like it was pretty anyway! #44913Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
You got a deal! I'm just kidding, of course..I know there are good photo ops just about everywhere...even in the Mojave..LOL..I'll try real hard to find IT, too.. I'll e-mail you when I get there and let you know if we are passing your way or what.. #44923Tracy L. Kolisnyk May 26, 2019
Carolyn, this is unbelievably beautiful! The sky is just amazing.... Now this sunset is making a statement... Look at that exclamation mark reflection!!! Very cool, Love it!! :) #44928Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
Thanks, Tracy. I never noticed the exclamation mark til you said that! #44937Carol Engstrom May 26, 2019
Be looking forward to hearing from you--hope your route takes you this direction. #44942Donna R. Moratelli May 26, 2019
Carolyn, People that arn't photographers DON'T SEE like we do. We are a breed apart from them. We see EVERYTHING in a different light. When you go to California this time you'll see a sunset there like you never imagined was possible. YOu didn't see like a photographer THEN and you probably wern't looking for the colors and lines and reflections and peeking sun behind and golden rimmed cloud or that rim of light on the sand that you have captured so well in the past. Look up! It's going to be a great sunset! Just pack the camera and don't shoot during lift off or landing! Try some other kind of shots too. Watch the people and shoot them for a chage of pace too! #44978Tracy L. Kolisnyk May 26, 2019
LOL, Carolyn, I'm glad you see it too... I know it's upside down but it's still an exclamation mark rather than an i! LOL :) #45021Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
Gorgeous sunset, Carolyn! The bar of light is what makes it unique! Very nicely captured. #45067Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
Thanks, Carol, Donna, Tracy and Gary!Donna R. Moratelli May 26, 2019
Yep, There is NEVER enough time for anything! #45147Kathleen Clemons May 26, 2019
Whoo Hoo! You finalist you... :) #54540Ellen Peach May 26, 2019
Congrats, Carolyn....you get the most amazing sunsets...good luck! #54543Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019
Congrats, Carolyn. #54562Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
As usual, I'm on the floor..I never like the ones that make finals (well, seldom, anyway) I sat on this one for months and nearly didn't send it in at all. Go figure! Thanks, you all for the support!!! #54589Donna R. Moratelli May 26, 2019
Wow Congrats Carolyn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where is the contest. I think that I missed it. #54716Carol Engstrom May 26, 2019
Congratulations Carolyn! I can't see the finalists either--guess that means I'm not one, but I am happy to see one of your pics here. Good job! #54722Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019

I think they like your sunsets, Carolyn! I know I sure do :-) congrats and good luck! #54824Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
Thanks, Gary, but this is the first sunset I've had in the finals..had one sunrise, but the rest have all been cats. Usually sunsets don't do very well, not that I care, cause I love them anyway and will keep on doing them as long as I can!!! #54860Dolores Neilson May 26, 2019

Great warmth in this shot, congrats Carolyn :) #56236Carolyn M. Fletcher May 26, 2019
Thanks, Clifton. I have about 3 versions of it, didn't like the first so cropped it 2 different ways and this was the one I liked best, even though I wasn't all that happy with this one, either. #56262Roxanne M. Bubar September 09, 2005
