Cortes sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

Around the BC coast, you get either great sunrise or sunsets. Mountains hide one or the other for most of us.
On Cortes, the island is small enough to enjoy both, as I was photographing moon rise and sunset and sunrise all in the same weekend.
This one caught my attention for its reflection, so I positioned the camera until I got the driftwood in the foreground with its branch aligned with the line of orange and yellow connecting it to the sun.

Nice catch John, wonderful colours and reflections. I love the way the sun is melting away into the BG. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.
