When the sun sets

sunset behind the mountains on a cloudy day in egypt

It usually is already gorgeous when the sun sets or rises in this place.

When it sets with a cloudy sky as a backdrop, it sure is fantastic.

This was the sunset we got to see as a little treat after the golf tournament on Friday.

We had a great time, the weather was good, cloudy, maybe a bit too windy for the golfers.

But since it was more of a fun tournament, than a serious one, it wasn’t too bad, I think.

Floyd’s team didn’t win, but they played fairly well.

On a Sidenote to the Photogeeks out there:

Did you play with HDR yet?

I sometimes love and sometimes hate it.
I think the pic above will be my first subject for an HDR pic.
Will play with it later today and see what I get :)

I know i keep harping on the differences between Sharm and Cairo but it really is amazing. It looks like the air is actually breathable where you are. That lovely sky doesn't look polluted to within an inch of its life.

Danke, Dirk & Kvelli & Thanks, Quilly!

@Typ0 - There's only very little pollution around here.
There is one Cement factory in the mountains where I saw dust coming up and there is one stinky something close to our compound. But usually it's a fair blue and clean sky.

There are not so many cars here either, so the pollution from that isn't very much either.

Plus, the mountains keep the dust away :)

Das ist in der Tat ein wunderbarer Sonnenuntergang, auch wegen der Spiegelung. HDR - die meisten Fotos, die daraus entstehen, finde ich total unnatürlich. Es gibt allerdings auch welche, die dadurch gewinnen.

Thanks, all :)

@April - Alle mag ich auch nicht, aber probieren wollte ich es schon immer mal.

@Kristi - I heard about it a while back on flickr, but I never got around to try it myself.
Here's an expl. on wiki

Beautiful foto Nicole!
I saw a beautiful sunset last night, too...I took a foto with my phone, though, and I do not have that cable with me on my trip!
I will go again tonight and try to see if it is just as spectacular as last night, and then post it!
