Post your favorite sunrise/sunset photos...

I really enjoy looking at all the pictures everyone posts here. I took these last week while on vacation (but not a cruise, this time).

 

Sunrise from Cherry Grove Beach, North Myrtle Beach:

 

 

 

 

Very unusual colors.

sunrise over mobile bay

Looks as though you were on the road bright and early.

We (correction, I) :rolleyes: ;) had to get up early to see the Sunrise while coming into Skagway Alaska on a north bound Diamond Princess cruise. I'll get up to see the sunrise then it's back to bed for a couple of hours. To get the idea of what I mean here are the times for today July 12, 2014 - Sunrise: 4:04am - Sunset: 10:10pm. I don't remember what ship it was that followed us into port that morning.

Sunset at Little Beach in Maui

And what happens after Sunset - drum circle every Sunday

You can, if you leave early enough (most times of the year) do the Road to Hana all the way around, then circle back to Little Beach in time for the sunset.

Fantastic capture; as much as I'm not a morning person; sometimes it's worth it to get up super early to catch the sunrises.

Looking back through these and noticed that the images from post have disappeared...here they are again:

Great picture -- we love Alaska. Have been there quite a few times.

Love the ceremony on the beach. Years and years ago when we went to the Hawaiian Islands on our own (no cruise), at Nawiliwili we were at a hotel where we were able to watch the ceremony of the torches arriving via canoes at sunset.

Beautiful

Glad you reposted them. That will happen at times with pictures disappearing on this site.

Thank you...I think I originally posted them from my Webshots account which recently closed down. I love, love, sunsets from my cruises and have lots of them to share.

Are y'all using a tripod or monopod for the on-ship sunset pictures? I see some long exposures in some cases . . . VR and image stabilization only go so far LOL.

If you're using a tripod, do you find that the motion of the ship causes problems with your shots?

Sunset in the Caribbean. Taken on the Norwegian Getaway in April 2014.

Beautiful

I'll drop a couple.

Lovely

My iPhone 4 came in handy on a sunset cruise with a group of friends on the St Marys River - defines the Georgia/Florida State Lines on the East coast.

Good reflection of the sun on the water.

Lovely

Whether you are on a cruise or land holiday if you are on the Big Island of Hawaii and the Lava is flowing into the Pacific ocean try to hike out to the flow. The best time to witness the beauty of the event is at night but it also makes for some nice sunsets. This was in December 2012 as lava benches were forming at the waters edge and other flows were finding their way over the cliffs falling 50 to 100 feet into the surf below.

Here's one more from our Oasis of the Seas cruise in 2013

Love the pictures.

Have been to Hawaii several times and have seen the lava flow.

Those colors are unusual and lovely.

August 10, 2015, above the Arctic Circle. This was an amazing night. Directly to the west.

However, a 180 degree turn was the Super Moon.

It was so hard to stop taking pictures (at about 10:30 p.m.) from one side to the other.
