Travel Photo Thursday: Texas Sunsets
I was in Texas last week and two things were notable. First there was sun – an unusual occurrence in Vancouver since last November. And secondly, the sunsets were magnificent. Major fires in Texas are contributing to the dust level which I believe is making the sunsets more interesting. In western Texas the sun reportedly shines 350 days of the year. That’s a lot of sunsets.
Here are a few of my favourite Texas sunsets.

Nice sunset shots! Yeah I posted a sunset over the Drakensberg, Sth Africa sequence up . African sunsets are incredible for burning reds and oranges. 10 days time I’m back there !

I really like the photo from the cemetery. Great color in all of the shots.
Beautiful pictures full of great colors. I love the big thunder clouds. They are so amazing to see!

Hopefully the sunsets will bring back good memories for him.
@Muza-chan @Laurel @Jim I couldn’t get over the change in the colour of the sunsets – especially the first one over time – from pale yellow to deep burnt orange. It makes you thankful to be alive.
@Sensibletraveler @Debbie Thanks for compliments. I loved the thunderclouds & was hoping for a big storm – they need the rain but not the lightening in west Texas.
i love those colors, but the one with the wood fence is stunning. thanks for sharing!

Thanks for stopping by Jessie. The colour in that sunset doesn’t even seem real to me.
I love when you caught the sunset reflecting in the clouds- gorgeous shots!
Beautiful shots, Leigh! I think photos of sunsets is the theme this week–I put up one too and it seems others did as well

Here’s mine: http://jorietravel.blogspot.com/2011/04/travel-photos-thursday-rain-oculus.html
All gorgeous! My favorite is the 2nd one with the fence in the foreground. A very Texas kind of mood to it.
@Jade @Jorie @Nancie @Michael @Cathy Thank you all for your lovely comments.
@Donny – You’ll get a real case of the chills with heat exhaustion. Fortunately you can choose to hike early in the morning or find a trail that offers enough shade to make hiking tolerable.
