Picture of the day - February 26, 2009
"Sunset on the beach" - Biarritz France
Photo courtesy of
Jochem Aarts.
Watching a spectacular sunset unfold before our very eyes is one of
life's most delicious little treats. Within a span of just a few
minutes the sky above the horizon can undergo several changes in
color and intensity, creating a serial "rainbow" that
somehow lifts the
weight of the day's troubles from our shoulders and calms our
worried minds.
I believe the setting sun is a message from our Creator telling us
that regardless of how badly the day might have gone, it is indeed
gone...and with the sunset comes the promise of yet another
sunrise, and the chance to have a better day tomorrow.
Photographer Jochem Aarts captured this magnificent sunset on the
beach at beautiful Biarritz France. Here are the camera and settings
used:
Camera: Nikon D50
Focal length: 18mm

This is a beautiful photo, but of course all of the POTD's are
simply awesome. I told my son who currently lives far, far away in
Beijing, China about this site, and he has fallen in love with it as
I have. Great work to everyone involved with it!

I grew up across the state in North Myrtle Beach, and I can tell you
that I have seen some fabulous sunsets in my day. But never have I
seen one any prettier than the one in today's picture. Amazing.
