"Danish Sunset"

Click on the photo for a larger view) Today's picture features a beautiful sunset over a beach in the northern European country of Denmark, the southernmost country in Scandinavia. When most people think of picturesque sunsets, visions of exotic tropical islands usually come to mind. But this striking image proves yet again that gorgeous sunrises and sunsets are by no means limited to warmer latitudes. The photographer who took this wonderful photograph wishes to remain anonymous, but it's hard to understand why given its beauty. Nonetheless, as always I will honor his wish. The camera and settings used to capture this image: Camera: Panasonic DMC-FZ28 Focal length: 39mm Shutter speed: 1/200 second Aperture: f/5 ISO: 100   Visitor Comments... Name: Jennifer Roland Town: Coral Gables, FL I'm quite partial to the sunsets we enjoy here in the Sunshine State, but I must say that this one is really awesome as well. To the photographer: Great job, whoever you are!     Name: Ben Letourneau Town: Natchez, MS As someone else who is partial to our southern sunsets, I must wholeheartedly agree with Jennifer. This one is very nice indeed.     Name: Fran Thomson Town: Saltville, VA Hey, Rick! The photographer did a wonderful job of depicting the Master Artist’s great creation.     Name: Juanita Ruffner Town: Negley, OH Perfect timing of the birds, the sunsetting with the water catching the reflection of it. Indeed you did a great job!   Comment on today's picture  |  View previous "Pictures Of The Day"  |  Submit a photo Why I publish the "Picture Of The Day"
