I'm envious. I tried all week to get a good sunset or sunrise, and came up empty handed. This is lovely. Nice job of catching the moon and planets so clearly.

Ooo, nicely done! The variation of colors you've captured is impressive, all the more so because you were able to catch the moon and planets too!

I wish I had. I just remember the last couple of nights being so clear and beautiful. I love how you have many stages of night in this photo. The scattered clouds with the light reflecting on them is pretty.

I thought about getting out for it but it just didn't work out. Cool shot, and yet another one of those amazing FL sunsets.

Waddy, this is so gorgeous. That water looks like molten glass - colors are outstanding.

Hey Waddy...nice to be in this SC with you again. I think this image would have been a whole lot better with a couple of 'gators and maybe even a rattler....lol
