That's it. The sun has set on the shortest day of the year. And a very beautiful and bitterly cold sunset it was.

.....nice! Ciao borogovoi · 2009-12-21: 16:59

Beautiful... and already the days will start to lengthen! DancingDolphin · 2009-12-21: 17:01

Excellent! :) Goldbrandi · 2009-12-21: 17:02

Super pair of shots......as ever!! I never see the sun set, always tucked away and facing in the wrong direction! I really like #1 as I love shooting directly into the direction of the sun and trying not to suffer too much from flare out.....Great shoot :))) jevsnw · 2009-12-21: 17:53
