I have mentioned before I believe sunsets in my part of the world show different personalities based on the time of year they happen. This shot was taken at the beach on the Winter Solstice, and while it would seem normal to think those shapes on the horizon are distant trees, they are actually low clouds hugging the line because the sun drops exclusively over the water from now until March-ish.

I was flying earlier this year, and while I normally try for an aisle seat, I was relegated to one at the window. It ended up being a lucky break, since the moon made an appearance in the waning afternoon sun when we got to altitude...I think we were roughly at 35,000 feet when I got the shot. My only gripe is the moon has ZERO detail because I was using my iPhone with limited exposure speeds.

The brown and orange on the horizon have an ethereal quality - I could see how you could get vertigo up there if you aren't careful.

The title of this entry is a shoutout to a Pink Floyd song, but also nails it for describing what the sun seems to be doing here - slowly collapsing into the arms of a couple of condo buildings who are lowering it into the horizon. I have mentioned it here that sunsets in my neck of the woods all have unique personalities that are influenced by the season. This was a nice, hot, lazy July afternoon...pretty fitting.
