Skywatch Friday - Italian Sunsets

These are two shots I took of sunsets while I was in Italy in the fall of 2006.
Hope you like them. I was new to using my digital camera.

This was taken from our hotel room patio looking towards the Cinque Terre.


This was taken from the boat on our way back from the Isle of Capri.
The water was very choppy that day and one woman got seasick.

    Stunning! I like them a lot. The first one is my favorite with the leaves framing the picture... the colors are awesome! Very nice, Leslie!

    Oh my gosh - they are both absolutely gorgeous! I love the framing in the first, but I love the waves in the second! I can't pick one over the other. Awesome photos!

    The silhouette of the leaves in the first image creates a nice perspective! The second is as stunning!!

    They are both wonderful but I if I could have only one I would have to take the sun on the waves.

    these are gorgeous, that must have been quite a boat ride, the way the light picks up on the waves is lovely.

    I remember the boat trip to and from Capri being a bit choppy. I loved the island, but it was too crowded.

    Wow - they're beautiful! I miss my boat! We had to get rid of it a couple years ago. I could get some really good photos if we still had it. :(

    Absolutely beautiful but I favor the first one most. I am still trying to make it thru the bloglist and hope you will stop by too. Not midnight here yet. Hate when I get a late start.
