I wasn’t going to go down to the Gulf Shores beach to watch last night’s sunset because I figured it would be the same as the night before. The day’s sky had been a similar, boring and cloudless blue after all.
But just to be sure I took the camera out to the beach balcony here on the 5th floor of my hotel. And saw this.
Uh oh, I better get out there, this could be good!
In the end the sky wasn’t spectacular, but the subtle colors were.
So I enjoyed my last night on the beach, reveling in the 60 something degrees, the gently rolling waves, the moon being quietly swallowed up by clouds.
I’ve got so many photos to show you from my two days here, but nothing as crazy beautiful as that last night on the beach.
So that’s what you get to see. If I get to the rest, you’ll see more, but I sure didn’t want you to miss that sunset!

Just beautiful. I di the same thing in Arizona. Start watching the sky and the clouds to gauge the likelihood of a good sunset.

I know. Though I’ve noticed that it can be beautifully cloudy all day and by evening there’s not a cloud in the sky!
