Sunset on Big Island

Gratuitous sunset shots are not usually my thing.  However, where we were staying on Big Island provided a great place to watch the sun go down.  It was easy to have the sun go down in line with a little headland by the beach so why wouldn’t I do that?  I watched a couple of the sunsets from there.  The sky was better for one of them but there wasn’t a lot of high level cloud to really light up.

It’s interesting to see how many people that came out for the sunset disappeared right after the sun went down.  They missed some of the more lovely sky colors that resulted as the sun illuminated the clouds from below once it had passed beyond the horizon.  A little patience is worthwhile, although it doesn’t seem like such a sacrifice for a photo when you are standing by a tropical beach.
