Astoria, Oregon ~ January 19, 2011
Although I've taken a lot of time off from posting this year, I came up with quite a few contenders for my favorite photo of 2011. This sunset series taken on January 19th was way up there among the most memorable for me. The "Sunset Empire" offers many opportunities for amazing evening light shows, and on this day I was in the right place at the right time. Brilliant color infused not only the sky but also the expanse of Young's Bay. The evening kept glowing and changing, and the subtleties were almost impossibly beautiful. The last of the series can be seen here with links to the three earlier posts.

Now that's what you can a 'wow' photo. Stunning. So effective. I went out to photograph sunset the other day and it turned out to be a gentle one. Next day, when I was up the mountain (ie home) it was a stunner, like yours, but I wasn't there! Thanks for your visit. Happy new year! xxx
Nothing like being in the right place at the right time and you surely were here! Wow! Absolutely stunning photograph. I especially like the way the bridge and the old pilings are silhouetted ... very effective.
And a very happy 2012 to you! We wish you, well, the best of everything!
This definitely has the "wow" factor. Great choice and start for the new year.
Wonderful image, amazing colors!
Oh, wow - what a stunning photograph! Well done!

This is fantastic! What a beautiful sky!! I can see why you chose it. :)
