Description
For the last couple of months I spent quite some time on sunsets, in particular for reasons of inner peace and second for the challenge of capturing what the eye sees and the heart feels during a small time frame of about 5 minutes. I heard African sunsets are the best, but when I look at the captures all over the world, I beg to differ. So take up my challenge, whenever you see some cloud cover, go out there and let's see what you can capture.Thank you for your very kind comments and visits to my previous upload. I love you all.
To my American friends: Happy & safe 4th of July celebrations, keep your flag flying high, we lost ours!

nice mood, great composition
beautiful sky Piet.you captured it perfect
What an amazing mood you have captured here Piet. Your composition and color saturation are perfect. The sky looks threatening, yet also calm... Strange - I cannot decide! In all - an absolutely glorious image! :)
Beautiful sunset, Piet, that calms the spirit. How can one not feel inner peace when out amongst the beauty of Mother Nature?
What a sky... this is ART!
fantastic shot. excellent colors and light :)
Excellent capture oom Piet.Ther are Fish eagles around Pretoria.They started visiting our dam last week.I will try to capture them on Camera Oom Piet.
Great!! I like this scenery photo!!
Beautiful image, excellent well done..
Brilliant capture
A fabulous image, Piet! Funny, I was planning to get out and take some sunsets this weekend, assuming my car starts (Grrrrr!) Our flag will fly high and I sure hope it still flies after the upcoming election. I can't help but wonder how long before it too becomes obsolete in favor of humoring the immigrants who want to live here but don't care to be Americans and in fact continue to bash and trash everything American. We are quickly becoming a minority in our own country--but obviously it makes sense to someone.
fantastic sunset and landscape, an excellent image my friend !!
This sky photo is amazing Piet, a really great capture to be proud of for sure
Excellent!
Moody and magnificent sky, Oom. A deeply beautiful capture. I know what you mean about sets and rises. Nothing quite like being here to drink in all the feelings. Hugs for a happy day. Di. xx
So dark and brooding, this one. It is breathtaking, that is for sure.

Wow amazing landscape view !
A really wonderful shot indeed, Excellent captured.
A wonderful sunset shot. Thanks for sharing.
I like the horizon of tree's against the sunset. Your captures are beautiful. May have to go to the other side of the island to find our sunset for your challenge. It would be fun. Excellent job as always. Aloha
Excellent sunset image, mate! Have you ever noticed that it's the clouds of the day that make possible the most beautiful sunsets in the evening. :)
Another beautiful South African vista, Piet. Thanks for the good wishes. Happy 4th of July to everyone around the world! America at its best means so much to many people. Too bad we have had low quality government for too long. In whatever country that allows RR members to vote, throw the rascals out!
Fantastic - 'fire in the sky' - love this. You take some very beautiful pictures. Hope being there gave you the peace you were seeking.
What a sky ! Nice landscape too. It looks like it is on fire !
