A MUST SEE IT IN LARGE.

Not just another pretty sunset...this one was apparently taken from the end of the world. Always wondered where that was.

And while this one above is the best of the search, here is a runnerup sunset that is a more traditional fiery-sunset-as-the-subject shot with quite the reflection (and here's the Flickr referrral to it).

Venice - Venècia, originally uploaded by Mor (bcnbits). Click on pic, see it in Flickr.

Saw this during yesterdays search for "sunset" and thought it very worthy of reprising "sunset" as the search word today. Between the architecture, colors, boats, and water, Venice really lends itself to HDR photography. And it also happens to be on the "must go" list just like yesterday's selection. A classic example of how great HDRs look like great paintings. Really must be seen IN LARGE ON BLACK.

This picture is a MUST SEE IN LARGE. Definitely an example of the depth in 3 dimensions that HDR can offer. And this one really soothes too. It's dusk on the Bay of Fundy which is on my "must go" list of places (yes, along with Iceland for anyone who has read this blog before). I do really want to see a 30-40 foot tide. Being an eyewitness to that must give you a true sense of "planet" by seeing the effect of incredible, yet invisible, forces outside of this planet molding things here (in this case, lunar gravity).

Oh, and I'm giving the Chiller a rest today.
