This was so cool to see!
Trust me, I know. All sunsets change. Many look very different in only a matter of moments. The size, shape, and colors are always transforming and shifting. Yes, I get that. However, I found this one to be exceptionally impressive.
PHOTOGRAPHIC CREATIVITY
Lately I've been playing around a bit with sunset photography. Some people, like @daveks, seem to do an amazing job all of the time. For me, capturing a sunset in all of its glory and splendor seems a little more elusive. However, I've been having fun and getting creative. I've been playing around with a variety of silhouettes like dormant deciduous trees and stacked rocks, and also with reflections at a nearby lake.
Last night I captured some better shots near the lake that looked "golden!" After some time of taking photos, we left, only to see the sky completely change. We decided to head back and take some shots from the same location to try to show the difference. Because the change was so incredible, I refer to it as "chameleon." See what you think.
BEFORE
Before the sun went down, the sky was an incredible yellow and golden color. The effect of such a bright and beautiful sky upon the surface of the lake was amazing. I was really impressed with it and glad that we had made the trip out.
AFTER
After the sun set the sky first lit up with a vibrant orange color, but it had faded to a striking pink by the time we returned to the lake. With the fierce pink of the sky contrasting the cool blue-gray of the water, a very nice scene was displayed with the dark shoreline and mountain range to break it up.
CLOSER
I've got a few bigger projects that I am working on, but I am going to try to work on my sunset skills. By taking the incredible backdrop that God provides on a nightly basis and having some photos with interesting silhouettes in the foreground, I think that I'll be putting out some better photos in the near future.
If you liked these, stay tune, there is more to come! Be blessed and steem on!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

I've been staying on the top of a mountain overlooking the Pacific ocean in Mexico all week. They do not make sunsets like this back home in Tennessee.

I find myself looking at sunsets and sunrises more and more these days. Either I’m appreciating them more as I look for the little things in life or they seems to be getting more brilliant! Thanks for sharing! They’re beautiful!

Upvoted and resteemed, Those are some great shots Pappa. Making me miss the south. It has been cold and snowy around our place with clouds and a lot of grey light. Hopefully we will be posting some cool sunrise and sunset photos if the weather allows. Thanks for all you do.

All those spectacular colors depends on many inpredictable (sometimes) things like weather (right now and tomorrow), wind, dust in the air, and clouds of course. So it was your lucky moment :)

I find sunset the most spectacular display of Gods color wheel, we can emulate but never master the true color he displays for us.
It is a great time to just sit and enjoy his blessings for the day...

great work, my friend. Here is a challenge for you. Instead of looking directly at the sunset, turn around and see what the fading sunset illuminates behind you, as it often can be the most interesting photo.
and one more experiment, you should try, using little peppers as models. Place the sun directly behind their head, hiding it. Now be sure the flash is set to always on. You will be surprised with the results, my friend.
keep on bringing us great photos my friend.

I am a pretty big fan of sunset photography and I especially love the golden/orange colouring that makes for perfect opportunities. I think you have some pretty nice sunset skills right now with the camera. If you don't mind me asking what kind of camera are you using?

beautiful pics Dear @papa-pepper! ... in one of my latest pictures, i reflect on the concept of time....
