Landscapes are easy or challenging depending upon the subject. The Sacramento River Delta is a beautiful spot for many recreational activities including windsurfing. Every once in a while we experience a rare sunset or two.
I chose three of my better landscape shots.
This is an amazing sunset after a mid-August rain shower. The lenticular clouds are a rare phenomenon.
Mid-August cloud fest
This photo was a few minutes earlier and the light was amazing. I pointed my camera phone just a little south of where I took the first picture.
Serene Sunset
I had to add this last shot of a windsurfer friend of whom I inadvertently caught in mid-air. Still light enough for an amazing sunset sailing session.
Windsurfer gets a jump at sunset
This photo was edited a little with picmonkey. I cropped, sharpened and strengthened the colors a little.
Really nice! Love the windsurfer in flight!

The first one is my favourite. It’s super crisp and the windmills look amazing silhouetted against that fab sunset.
