Default Bi-Monthly photo contest "Sunrise/Sunset"

The theme for this contest is
Sunrise/Sunset
As spring may be coming to some and maybe not so much for other, maybe another round of relaxed age of photo rules.


I don't have any sunrise/sunset and MISTR3SS is still in the garage, so not sure I'll even have any to share.


Good luck to all

I had a hard time finding a good one. My submission is not my favorite pic, but it's an angle I don't use enough and a good stormy sunset sky, so I like it. I couldn't find a decent shot of the actual sun with the BudChev in the same shot, even though I have such pics with my Bronco and my Fusion.

This'll do, from May 3, 2014:

Going back several years for this one. This is from July 2012, right after I lowered the car, sun is setting out of the shot to the left.

The sunrise/set may be out of shot, but I like how it's reflected in the paint.

And not only that, the light accentuates the Monte Carlo characteristic fender creases too. It never occurred to me before that on the 7th gen, the lower part of the headlight section is angled to match the front fender's crease line. Real subtle... but I see it now!

Like the subject matter. This one was taken a couple years back. Sun setting over Spanish Fork, Utah with Utah Lake in the distant background.

Well I will call this one Sunset in Waterloo! Had to chase this one for a few miles to get the right shot. It has been so cloudy here that either sunset of sunrise is tough to find. Fun theme by the way, it would be a real cool shot at Daytona Beach, or the Grand Canyon.

Neat trick for a very cool reflective shot! We even get some good "undercar" there...

I was looking through my pics with the BudChev in Daytona Beach for this one. I have early morning pics on the sand but it was cloudy and you couldn't see the sunrise at all, just gray skies
