Sunset in the harbor


The other day we were in the harbor for dinner and afterward decided to walk out onto the public dock at Skansie Park in Gig Harbor. As we approached, the sky started to turn colors ... and it just kept getting better and better!


No matter which way we turned,
there were glorious sunset colors!


The show went on for quite awhile, and people started to gather to stand in awe and take pictures.





Even the water gave us a show, with crisp, clear reflections of boats that resembled abstract paintings.


We can't see the sunset from our house, so if you are one of the lucky ones with a western view, I hope you never tire of the fantastic nightly displays. It would be heaven to bask in those colors every evening at the end of the day.



Have a colorful day

We get sunrise and sunset views, and (when I'm awake to see them) they are stunning, especially this time of year with more clouds in the sky. And the colors are a real inspiration, no matter which way we look. I've taken reams of photos over the 15 years we've been here and the vistas never cease to please me! Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures!

It’s noteworthy that the first three comments all contain the adjective “stunning” for these sunset images certainly are. Thank you for sharing them with us.
