Today we experienced warm blue-sky-sunshine with just enough cloud for what was to come. We began with a trip to the dump with another batch of garden refuse in spent compost bags.
After lunch I read more of J. B. Priestley’s “Literature and Western Man”, until it was time to dash down to Barton on Sea to catch the
coastal sunset. The last three of these gentler images were produced by Jackie who was looking away from the direct dazzle.
This evening our grandfamily finished the leftovers from the recent Red Chilli takeaway while Jackie and I dined at Lal Quilla. My main course was tender lamb naga; Jackie’s tasty chicken sallee; we shared exquisite mushroom rice, egg paratha, and seb loo Jalfrezi, and both drank Kingfisher. Service, ambience, and cooking were as excellent as always.
Both photographers are to be congratulated for lovely images. Glad Jackie got a meal not prepared by her.
Thanks very much from us both, Pat
Spectacular photos by both of you–wow! That header shot is wonderful. I like how your photos and Jackie’s include people, or silhouettes.
Thank you do much from each of us, Merril
You are both welcome!
Beautiful sunset photos.
Thank you very much, Chrissy
Absolutely glorious photos! It’s interesting to see the different types of clouds in the first pictures. You never know how a sunset is going to turn out. The frog in front of Jackie’s windows seems to be enjoying the sunset, too.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
The sunset photos are so dramatic!
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Sunset is always stunning, but these photos are outstanding.
Thank you very much, Dolly

I loved the pastel colours in the assistant photographer’s work. Your work was very fine too of course.

Lovely sunset scenes Derrick!
Thank you very much, Arlene
Gorgeous photo…Now on to the rest. Had to stop and comment first, though
Thank you so much, Judy 🙂
Did you see all the animals lined up on your first clouds? An Elephant or Alligator/shark facing up to three frolicking Scottie dogs..at one point, at least. Gorgeous shots. Who can resist a sunset like this?
And love the silhouettes of folks against its backdrop.
Well seen, Judy. Thanks very much
A spectacular collection of dazzling sunset Photos Derrick … I’m not sure which one I’ll select for my ‘Derrick File’

You certainly got a good show Derrick.

Your dinner description made my mouth water. Your sunset images are reminiscent of the photo I have in my living room with the birds in the orange sky. Ah, such a feast for the eyes!!
Thank you do much, Jan
The sky made for some stunning photos.

I had to look up where Barton on Sea is. I’ve never been to Hampshire it looks so beautiful at this time of day. Lovely captures.
Thanks very much, Charlotte
The photos of sunset over the sea were striking, Derrick, and I enjoyed Jackie’s photo of the reflections in the windows, too. I am glad you two had a wonderful day out, and a good evening meal as well.
Thank you so much from us both, Lavinia
Your photos are absolutely glorious, Derrick and Jackie.
Thank you very much from each of us, Eugi

Good to see you appreciating so many strands of our daily lives…Some folk seem to travel blind-folded! Cheers.
Thanks a lot, Joy
Absolutely stunning sunset photographs.
Thanks very much, June
Beautiful images from you both, but I was particularly taken with the softer images from Jackie, particularly the sunset reflection.
Thank you very much from each of us, Sue
Wonderful colours… great shots.
Priestley? Literature and the western man sounds enticing…
It is really good and so easy to read. Thanks very much, Brian
Priestley? I’ll try to make a note of it. See whether they have it on Amazon. Be good Derrick
Absolutely gorgeous photographs!
Thank you very much, Ribana
Beautiful captures.
