California Sunsets #50 ~ Golden Hour Contest

These are my entries for Sunday's #goldenhourphotography contest
hosted by @juliank.

~ “There’s never one sunrise the same or one sunset the same.” ~
~~ Carlos Santana

One of my favorite quotes from a legendary musician. This photo, with the sunset sinking behind Malibu and the Santa Monica Mountains was taken three years ago on August 2, 2015 (pre-steem).

Amazing tones of red. Great photo.

Thanks man.. it was one of those surreal sunsets.

Golden hour of the night , I always love seeing sunsets and the beauty of its colors

As do I! Thank you.

It seems as if something is happening in the sky!
Whether it's a battle or an important event.
Such bright and dark colors at the same time.
The sky as if dissecting the laser beam of sunset


Tropical sunsets are great, @armentor

Amazing photo! Very beautiful!
Best wishes from @singa

Well said @singa! Thank you.

The sky is stunning! :)

It certainly was a magical sunset.

I never tire of its beauty! The saturation of colors at sunset are spectacular! I used to think that the camera could not possibly see what the eye doesn't, until I started taking pictures.

Outstanding!

It was certainly a surreal sunset. Looking like another one this evening with all this heat and humidity here in fire infested Cali!

Well, take care of yourself out there! I lived out there and those fires were so dangerous not only in the fire but, for me, the smoke was almost worse! (makes for a cool picture though!)

Looking forward to another beauty!

Thank your for your curation support!

Congrats on being one of the winning photos last week. Their curation is much more balances IMO.

I agree as well.

Brotha... don't understand why this pic is not like not considered one of the best... its sick and so not LA. Maybe cuz it was one of your older pictures. But so many post old shit and get big upvotes. Just saying, this is awesome meng!

Thank you man. Its something that at first discouraged me, especially some of the content that is posted relative to what is upvoted. However, its their SP and they can do what they want with it. Although I see it have longer negative effects of on-boarding more end users and increasing the value of Steem.

Lio was saying the same thing so he don't post anymore and just sells delegation. It seems worse with how low Steem and SBD is now don't you think?

I will be seeing him later today at VBL. He has delegated 20k and is pulling in more than I with my partial del, curation and author awards.

Its VBL chambpionship game today, right! Maybe I'll see you down there. Pass on my best to Lio and find out if I should just deligate.

Wow that one is astonishingly bright! So cool.

It was one real trippy sunset.

*pre-steem' LOL :P
soo my Q is, what is the time?? looks like them 2 min juuust before sun lowers..? my favo clickety time :D em pics gets all dark and red moody :D :D ok neffer the less, 10star picture :D

You caught that! If the clouds are low, touching the horizon, yes usually a few minutes before. If the clouds are high then just after the sun sets.

He he, its allll about DA details😉
Sweet, thanks, i mostly find this red note just before a rain or any form of damp that will come, but note im waayy more north then you😜😉

Very interesting how high clouds colored in upper part of the image. Like some disco party in heaven :D

Ya. it was quite bizarre with that different level of clouds.. Must have been one "hell" of a party up there!

@armentor, For sure this pre-steem picture is really awesome and literally speaking it's reflecting as an Lava World.

And the next beautiful aspect of this picture is, it's reflecting as an amazing and breathtaking Three Layered picture.

And if we carefully watch then for sure it will going to reflect as some world is opening in clouds and sky have whole different colours which holds the artistic essence.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

The multi layered clouds is one of the unique aspects of this one. Truly a special sunset. Thank you.

Welcome. 🙂

Aww so Awesome... You always capture nice nature photography.. this is amazing shots.. good job..

Thanks man. Lucky I am so close to the beach and it happens to be where the sun sets!
