sunset in the haze...

Posted by martie (Okinawa, Japan) on 19 January 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

The other day we had a lot of haze, which is very unusual on our small island. The setting sun was a wonderful orange/red ball. The background here is not the greatest (because of the haze, I think) but I love the sun with the little clouds in front.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my photos. And for those who left a comment - a double thank you!

Yes, this is super, Martie. Like a shot through a telescope. Love the color and finish of your photo.

Very well photographed; thank you for not placing the ball of the sun in the dead center of your pic! Being off center adds life and much interest, IMO.
