Well, here we are on the third and final set of sunset photos from our summer trip to Mere Point. The first photo is from an evening we spent at the end of the point with some family, a rare treat this summer. As you can see, the horizon had some thick clouds, but we were still treated to some excellent color, and the ocean delivered some great foreground scenery as well.
After that evening, the weather finally decided to mess with my routine. We ran into a string of dreary days that left us inside more often. I got some chances to get out and take some photos, but none of them would really be called a “sunset”.
Once the weather started to clear up though, it really came through with a couple of incredible evenings. This first evening came after a full day of thick fog. Most of the islands were completely invisible. Just before sunset it cleared up though, and I had the end of the point all to myself. I quite liked this view of the kayakers returning from their foggy paddle. Shortly after this was taken they called me over to confirm where they were, as apparently the fog had confused them. Fortunately, they had navigated correctly and were headed for the boat ramp just a few minutes paddle away.
The next day unfolded along similar lines, though it didn’t look as promising. The fog was just starting to clear as the sun was going down, so I decided to get out for a short boat ride. Fortunately I grabbed the camera, because I ended up floating into the middle of the sunset itself. The thin clouds and fog were all around me lighting up everything in vivid pinks, oranges, and yellows. Up above, the blue sky was showing through. The sun lit up the clouds all around me in amazing ways. I had a ton of fun taking the photos, at least until my camera battery died.
I’ve thrown a few more shots in here as well. All of these were at least taken around sunset, though some are not quite on theme. Still, I thought they were worth sharing.
