I witnessed this scene on the way from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. The dry dusty air in the desert area gave the sunset a special look. =) I also like how the lines of lamp posts stretched towards the golden globe.

I was thinking about submitting this photo in the yesterday´s theme (freedom) but eventually decided to go for a natural shot that is more freedom-symbolical to me. Not to deprive you of the shot of the Statue of Liberty that I took from the ferry going to Manhattan though, I am using it as my entry for today :) Have a great weekend everyone!

Perfect timing for this shot! I've been on that Manhattan-Staten Island ferry and I know how unlikely it is for this to happen. (I'm following you around the world haha).

Hi! It’s Friday evening. I just arrived backed to Nongkhai today. So, I went out for my evening walk after I fed all the cats. It’s peaceful and calm by the river. I was lucky as I managed to catch the sun before it went to bed. The surrounding energy and the river really made me feel much better after the long train journey.
The funny thing was that the sun seemed to be leaking it’s energy and colours onto the sky.
Have a nice weekend.
Cheers.

After a trip to Geysir and Gullfoss, around 100km from Reykjavik, I saw a real icelandic sunset. The sun exactly between the cloud and clean sky part offers a great spectacle. Cold weather but heats the heart :)

Hi @adetorrent! Thank you for you great contest. My first entry is here:
My picture si from a frozen winter Iceland. Winter sunsets in the south west part of Iceland are unique. The sun is trying to slowly hide behind the mountain. All colours around were spectacular! We had to stop the car and we were watching till the end.

The roof of my house is a great viewing platform. The sunsets there are magnificent. I am now in Moldova and I do not see such a beautiful sky. Around the city of Rovna there are many swamps and a special microclimate. The colors of the sky there are especially bright. The picture was taken in the city of Rovno Ukraine.

This was captured some time back early this year when me and my family went to Sunway Lagoon. It's a sunny afternoon that day. Malaysia has the sun all year round. So if you are looking forward for more sunshine, come to Malaysia. 😎😎😎 🌞🌞🌞

This photo was taken this August when I was bicycling around a lake in the evening on a cloudy day when suddenly the grey sky was interrupted by the setting sun.

This photo is from July 2018 it is a natural phenomenon called solar halo that occurs when sunlight passes through the clouds, which have ice crystals inside that are formed due to low temperatures in the atmosphere.
The photograph was taken with my cell phone from the car that was traveling, so cables and power lines were infiltrated.

One of the places of this world that will never die in my heart. This is the sunrise in Vama Veche that rise to heal my broken soul. I was after a breakup and as always seeing the sun over there rising up for the goods and the bads, smoothen my healing process

On my last visit to the great land of smiles Thailand i decided to visit Khon Kaen which is one of the major cities of the North East of Thailand they have a very creative and spiritual way of building there Buddhist Temples and this is one i visited is the most worshiped temples in the city. It was a very hot gleaming day on the day i visited and i just loved the way the sun were shinning above this temple and the sun rays shinning right through the temple doors giving you that real spiritual feeling of calmness !!
