HI EVERYONE!
This is the view of the sky at sunset yesterday at Lancok Beach, North Aceh. The twin sunsets are caused by the reflection of light that falls on the shoreline. So they look the same, water is a substitute for a mirror.
The reflection of the light down makes the sunset look two, of course the above is the original sunset, and below it is the result of the reflection of the sea water.
Some children look still playful, photo taken at 18:35 pm by @marconah.

Quick story
Another day, other photo and a story.
When we talk about sunset, we all have one photo in mind. Beautiful beach the calm sea and in the background a big orange sun 😍
Because, I don't live near a sea, so I don't recreate this kind of photo and by the way, are you aware, that you only have 365 sunset in a year ? 😧 That is only 365 photos you can make, if you don't miss a single day and the weather is ok and you got only 3-5 min to make the best of it 😱MAKE YOUR SUNSET MOMENTS COUNT😍
Back to story.
So sunsets.... Two months ago, I shot this amazing sunset of the beautiful scenery in Judendorf-straßengel, Austria. https://steemit.com/drone/@marjanko/aerial-photography-highlight-of-the-day-magnificent-sunset. After few days later we had a little bit of snow and that day, we saw a movie with my wife. Guess what movie ?! :)
Lord of the rings.
Do I need to say more about the photo? Or you get the idea😉
"Mordor" One of my wife's favorite photo.

May in Lithuania is the month when finally spring comes and the nature starts to bloom. The fine example this field of blooming poppies somewhere in the middle of Lithuania.
Actually was going pretty far way to make portrait photoshoot and was very lucky to get such a stunning skies on colorful sunset, so managed also to make few landscape shots.
Wide angle lens and low shooting point

Day 4, "Squeaky Beach"
Wilsons Promontory National Park is located in the south of Australia. A few hours from Melbourne, Victoria, one has to leave to Highway to visit this remarkable place. We went for only 2 days and explored a few Beaches, some coast to coast tracks and watched thousands of emus, kangaroos and birds inhabiting this paradise. This particular shot was taken at "squeaky beach"- a white and sandy beach that literally squeaks with every step. We parked the van and spent the night at this stunning place.

Dutchman's Cup - so called high dune nearby Klaipeda, Lithuania. Very nice place with some interesting stones at the coast line. In fact still my favorite place to go for a sunset from the closest ones. Can get there in some 20-30 mins by car.
So pretty convenient when it is already visible that some nice sunset could be expected
This time was pretty stormy autumn evening with a storm heavy clouds front coming on the horizon. But still was lucky got few minutes of sunshine at the very end of sunset which colored the sky pretty perfectly

The Venice Beach I'm going to show here is not in Venice of Italy, but one of many great beaches in Los Angeles, USA. So are you also wondering what the connection is with the Italian city?
The tobacco millionaire Abbot Kinney founded this seaside resort town in 1905, in the vision of building a “pleasure pier” in California that boasted Venetian architecture of Italy. It was originally called the “Venice of America”, in the hope that visitors could ride gondolas to tour the water town just like in Venice of Europe.
Later in 1926, Venice merged with Los Angeles, but the area kept its bohemian vibe and is known as a cultural hub today. I found it a lively and peculiar place full of strange charm. People come here for attractions like Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Recreation Center, the Venice Canals, and of course the beach.
I heard it can get packed during hot summer time, since it's very popular among tourists as well as locals. While I visited it on a cool spring day, there's no crowds at the beach. From late afternoon till dark, I walked the long Boardwalk to reach the famous Santa Monica Pier. I was lucky to witness the color changes of the sky along my way.
See you soon for the RESULTS of the BEST SUNSET PHOTO CONTEST!
