Sunset off St. Lucia. September 13, 2001.
I’ve posted a couple of pictures from our visit to St. Lucia on a cruise in 2001 and I would now like to share one on Skywatch Friday.
Betsy and I took a belated honeymoon cruise in the Caribbean in September, 2001. There were many things we enjoyed about the cruise, but the sunrises and sunsets we saw from the ship were definitely high points.
The picture above was taken while watching the sunset off St. Lucia. There was a heavy cloud bank off to the west of the ship and the sun has dropped behind it. If you looked at the enlarged picture you can just make out a sliver of the sun between the ocean and the clouds.
I think what I like most about this picture is the color behind the dark clouds on the horizon. This was one of the last pictures I got that day before the light disappeared completely.
Last week over 300 people shared pictures of the sky on Skywatch. You can join in the fun or see more pictures from around our beautiful world by clicking HERE.

Beautiful tropical sunset. Thanks for sharing your photo; it’s really nice enlarged.

I bet sights like this were a big highlight of your trip.
When I first looked without reading or enlarging I thought that one big dark cloud on the horizon was a Navy ship in silhouette. Living in the Norfolk area so long I can accustomed to seeing that.
Lovely image George.

This is a knockout. Just how many colours and a silvery light. Fabulous shooting.
February 6, 2009 at 12:38 pm |
What gorgeous colours!! I like the shape of the cloudbank, too, and the way you can see the waves rolling in toward the beach (well, I think it is the beach).
Thanks so much!!
February 6, 2009 at 12:39 pm |
Absolutely stunning!
February 6, 2009 at 12:54 pm |

The clouds look like puzzle pieces against this beautiful sunset!
February 6, 2009 at 3:34 pm |
Yes, I see the sliver of the sun!

the shapes of those clouds are so unique, and the dark colors make this a really interesting image.
February 6, 2009 at 10:44 pm |
That’s a vivid display of colors. Are you sure you didn’t photoshop this one? (Just joking). Sunsets are cliche, but the older I get the more I appreciate them. Sunrises not so much, but maybe that’s because I live on the gulf coast of Florida.

Stunning George!
February 7, 2009 at 7:53 am |
This sunset over water is gorgeous!
February 7, 2009 at 8:06 am |
Seldom is the sky such full of character. Simply striking in all its glory and the colours, composition and perspective are truly magnificient.

Just blog hopping and found your blog. My husband & I took the Southern Caribbean cruise with Crown Princess last 2007. We went to Sta. Lucia, one of the islands that impressed me. Love your post about the sunsets. I am an artist and love to paint sunsets. I posted Sta, Lucia on my blog (2007):
