    Nice sunsets with Santa Catalina in the background.  While we can see it down here on really clear days as well as San Clemente, they are far more distant so can't play as big a role in sunset photos.  Islands definitely add a lot to sunset ocean photos.

    Thanks Tracy... I've seen the islands from down there too.. I wish I had gotten the whole island in the pic, but I was concentrating on the sun, and not the island when I took it...

    We do.. though California's sunsets are often about as attention - worthy.. When the fog isn't ruining the view, lol..  That said, the humidity the marine layer provides is what allows everyone there to grow more palms/ other sun tender stuff  w/ less trouble than here.

    Here, super dry air in the lower part of the atmosphere, and generally higher cloud base height combine to amplify how light scatters as the sun sets ..or rises.. ( need to catch a few this summer )  Dust, Smog pollution, and Smoke in the air can be as high as many spots out there on a given evening..

    In FL. some of the best sunsets i saw occurred during dry spells.. when atmospheric humidity was lower - by FL standards of course..  Similar thoughts regarding sunset views when i lived in both KS and Ohio.
