First, facing west:

Now facing east:

Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

Very nice! I remember being told once that photographing a sunset is wonderful, but the scene facing the other direction can yield some good surprises. Certainly did in this case!

Wonderful pictures.
I have never yet managed to capture only
the red sun on a screen.
If I have photographed them, has always changed the color.

Lois, this is the second time in a couple of months this has occurred. It's always a nice moment when you spot it.

Unfortunately it was a case of 'heavy mist in the morning', which I hope is simply the exception that proves the rule.

Steffi, the shot of the sun is more or less how it came out of the camera. In reality the sky wasn't as dark as it apepars in the photo, but it's nearly impossible to find an appropriate shutter speed to get both sun and sky together.
