The title of this post has nothing to do with Ernest Hemmingsway's book with the same title. In the case you're asking: "Where's the old man?", I like to give you the answer that he was standing on top of this Zeeland (The Netherlands) sand dune (lol) to capture a setting sun above a hazy sea.

Hope you'll enyoy this scene like I did. Thank you very much in advance for any comment.

PS: when watching this post at full screen size, left at the horizon, a buoy and an in the mist disappearing tanker can be seen, so it are no blots, lol.

This has got to be one of the finest sunsets I seen in a while Cornelius!...

It is so natural, with those rays peeping through to give it a touch of drama!...

A fabulous capture pal...

A wonderful sunset with the golden rays of the sun pouring through between those clouds! Someone who can show us so many beautiful photos of so many different places must be an active young man, Cornelius.

Can't be that old to be able to stand on a sand dune to capture this scene !! :)

It is simply stunning Cornelius - dramatic and peaceful all at once.

You might have been standing on a sand dune C, but your feet are always on solid ground. I can tell by your character. Such a wonderful capture. I agree it is one of the best I have seen on this site. Heavenly.

Good Health to you and yours.

What a glorious shot this is. Has to be one of the best sunset pictures on the site. Very beautiful, Mr. C. I never read that book, but I saw the movie with Spencer Tracy. I was about 10 when that came out.

I hardly know where to start with the compliments here Cornelius. This is stunning. The combination of the cloudy sky, the sun's rays streaming through the gaps in the clouds, the mist and the tanker in the distance all go to make a wonderful image.Faved.

Cornelius, this one looks SO much like a painting. Whatever processing you did had one small downside - those two darkest clouds in top centre are a bit posterized, everything else in this is sweet mate.

Three Cheers for Caedes for that which has been created here from nothing. All Hail the Big C!
