Stockholm Sunset

I encountered some interesting sunsets within a few days a while back. This is one.

Opening
I found this gap in the trees to see the gap in clouds around sunset in Stockholm.
Boo
This is all you get from me for Halloween. I saw this around the corner from my place in Long Beach.
Looong Shadows
Golden hour at the beach recently. No clouds but some great shadow across the sand.
Blue Golden Hour
Obviously, it's still the "golden hour" even though it certainly has a gloomy, blue caste. And I didn't manipulate the colors to make it so. It was a pretty dingy looking night anyway. I found this trail on the north side of Signal Hill Park. I didn't even know this spot was there. I was simply doing a little scouting/exploration, chasing the sunset due to the funky clouds--a seeming rarity this time of year here in SoCal. The clouds kinda congealed, but that small break at the horizon allowed me to get a somewhat interesting sunset out of this. The sky never lit up after this, so I packed up my gear and went home. I will have to try this place again, though.
Ho Ho Ho
Yeah, I know it's May, but I shot this in DTLB early the morning of 25DEC. It was still the golden hour, but the light was funky that morning. And downtown was empty, so it was cool wandering around shooting. For me, anyway. I prefer to capture scenes devoid of people.
SoCal Golden Hour
Chasing sunsets or other nature shots always leaves you at the mercy of nature as to what is going to happen. I saw some big clouds hanging around a couple hours before sunset the other night, so I went chasing. I was looking around in Seal Beach by the pier, but just couldn't find a composition I liked. So, I ended up on the pier. The clouds which had been hanging about kinda morphed into this huge thing in the sky, but I found myself in just the right spot for it. I sat there until after the sun went below the horizon, and I waited for a bit, but the sky never lit up. Bummer, but that is the way it goes. However, before the sun actually set I did get this shot with some nice color, a great reflection, and perfect leading lines. Hope you enjoy.
