From what I see on other blogs, the sunset everywhere in the world is a most beautiful sight. I'm glad I was able to share some of the joy from this sunset with you.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926083515508779822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051370101596909325.post-22005302238928556972008-03-27T22:50:00.000+10:002008-03-27T22:50:00.000+10:00Beautiful...Beautiful...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051370101596909325.post-28975029714637344142008-03-16T17:03:00.000+10:002008-03-16T17:03:00.000+10:00Hi Anna,We also get powerlines here, if you look i...Hi Anna,<BR/><BR/>We also get powerlines here, if you look in some of my sunsets you will see them.

The leading lines lead to the right hand side of the picture, which seems correct. But a right-to-left reading person, such as someone from Japan, would tend to compose this photo with the focus on the left hand side of the picture. That's something to think about! :)<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926083515508779822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051370101596909325.post-41314031822783496582008-03-09T17:18:00.000+10:002008-03-09T17:18:00.000+10:00Hi Stacey,Thanks, I'm glad you like the lightning ...Hi Stacey,<BR/><BR/>Thanks, I'm glad you like the lightning pic, I think that's one of nature's greatest sights.
