Sunsets

The location isn't so exotic, but some of the best sunsets I have ever witnessed have been from the North Norfolk coastline.

I was sitting in my caravan one evening 3 years ago in Snettisham watching the news and happened to glance out of the window to see the sky absolutely ablaze with colour. I marched up to the beach to find at least 100 people sitting or standing, watching the spectacle. As time wore on, the sky filled with reds, oranges, yellows, greens and purples as the sun slipped through a thin veil of cirrus and on into the sea. As it finished the crowd spontaneously broke out into a round of applause. It was a very special moment to share with like minded people.

Here is a view from Wells-Next-Sea looking out over the quay towards another gorgeous sunset. I can't be certain whether this is one of mine or not, but it was in one of my albums so it probably is.

That's a beautiful sky Dave

It's a beautiful part of the country Tim and I have some very special memories of the area. Thank you very much for your kind comment...

Blakeney is another favourite of mine. I do miss Norfolk, but lovely picture!

Valetta Harbour, Malta. Actually it's a sunrise. We were on our way to Sicily.

Cheers Alex!
to be honest, im not so worried about anything much now ... we are half way through, we have had a few worries, but everything seems to be going well! because of hannahs health we have had a consultant lead pregnancy which has meant they have been looking after us very well! 24 weeks gone we have already had 3 scans and have 2 more booked to we are getting plenty of reassurance ... that said as the date gets closer im sure i will get more nervous! its the little things, and the practical implications i cant get my head round ... and the money worries ... but im sure we will be fine! The actual living baby bit i cant wait for!

Hamish, please be aware that you'll NEVER be "number one" again, EVER!!!!! Some fellas get on with this fine, but I didn't and it took months to get used to this pink, crapping, screaming blob taking up all my wife's attention. It was a HUGE growing experience for me but I'd be far less of a man had I personally not followed this path. My son has taught me to be a dad of sorts and this experience is helping no end at school now. I still don't know much about teenage girls though (does anyone ?)

This is one from Key West the other year, we were stopping at the Hyatt around the corner from Mallory Square Dock.

it was still 30c when the sun went down, we had a luvly if not to hot time down there.

I highly recommend the Hyatt, it cost me a 60hrs overtime for 3 nights !

When my son was born, my wife had a caesarian that went slightly wrong (nothing serious, and all OK afterwards). The result was that I was handed this very small pink thing and left to my own devices for about 20 minutes whilst Jane was sorted out.

We looked at each other. "Hello", I thought, "Who are you?". I guess he was thinking the same. 25 years later it's still the most amazing thing that ever happened to me (although I found when his sister arrived two years later that the novelty doesn't wear off!), and we're both still finding out. He's now 6' 1" and making a stab at running his own business. I'm immensely proud.

Not the best sunset last night, but this is the view I have of the sun going down behind a twisted old (oak?) tree.



Much prefer a sunset over the sea like that one at Key West, Paul - very nice.

I've still never managed to get to Café Del Mar in Ibiza - another one of my must do's before I die...

Nice to be able to watch the sun go down from the lounge, Jon!
