You know when people say that you don\u2019t need to go far from home to make interesting photos? They are right, of course. In my case, the photos I am sharing today were taken in two different days, but at the same time of the day, sunset. I am lucky that my flat has a balcony facing north and the Arabian sea, so I have privileged views of the sunset over Muscat\u2019s shoreline.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunset becomes more interesting when there are clouds, which was the case. I simply grabbed my camera and telephoto zoom lens, and took the photos as the sun was going down. In one the days, the humidity was high, so when I moved from the air-conditioned environment inside the house to the exterior, condensation formed in the lens. I noticed it upon inspecting the first shots in the camera screen; there was this nice ring around the sun, which gave the photos a different character. Hence, I shot a few more like this before cleaning the lens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second session happened a couple of days after we had some rain, so there were still some broody cloud formations over the city. These made an interesting background to the colorful sunset conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final note: I started this blog 10 years ago, in September 2014. Time flies, but I have enjoyed sharing my photography here. Hope you have enjoyed it too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
