The sun may barely have risen this morning, and it may well have spent much of the day hiding behind a bank of clouds; but oh how wonderful it was when it set at the end of the shortest day of the year.
These shots were taken just after 4.20pm today from the top of my building at work.
Camera note: all shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

24 Dec 2011This is spectacular. Especially that one with tiny helicopter 😀
We were in Tofino, Vancouver Island, for 2 days. Some of the best looking sunsets I have ever seen 😀

28 Dec 2011Darko, I'm glad you spotted the helicopter. I only noticed it after I'd taken the shot.
Hope you and San had a good break!
