Sunset on Monday night, almost the equinox and a beautiful arrangement of colour looking West across Port Phillip Bay from the Black Rock cliffs. Sadly however I was tucked up in bed when the sun rose so don’t know if it was equal in display.

Monday was the equinox at Black Rock. But maybe just one night before, the sun would have set directly behind the You Yangs (mountains) from this point!

I haven’t really given it much thought. I am still learning a new camera, so I am taking the shots a bit slow.

Keep taking photos when you are watching and if you have a tripod it helps a lot with sunsets.

Thanks Olga. These effects are a result of rain clouds passing through day after day and hanging across the horizon in the evenings.
