This weekend the 'Postcards for the weekend' theme is sunrise, sunset.
I think no photo can capture the sunrise / sunset as we see - and feel! - it in real. Anyhow, postcard makers do their best to approach reality as much as possible. Whether they use photoshop or not, I think sunrise and sunset make pretty postcard pictures.
The postcard above shows the lighthouse of Ameland, an island in the Wadden Sea. The postcard below I received from Ibiza, one of the Balearic islands.
See more beautiful postcards on this theme at and via Postcards of the weekend!
Both the windmill and the lighthouse make very impressive silhouettes :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI agree! (I didn't realize until reading your comment :-) )
VerwijderenI think you sent me that windmill (or a very similar picture). I like a look the sunset colours, but, as you wrote, I usually don't take pictures, because it's really difficult to capture. so I rather enjoy the moment.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYes, I scanned it before sending to you :-)
VerwijderenI found it on the blog :D

The windmill picture is amazing. It is so beautiful. The mist and the windmill and the sun all together like that. Wow! The Ibiza card is also lovely.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenBeautiful. I especially like the windmill misty morning, I can imagine the promise of a beautiful day.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenHi Heleen, I enjoyed the cards you shared here for sunrise/sunset. And you are right to say, “I think no photo can capture the sunrise / sunset as we see - and feel! - it in real.” So true! Thanks, Heleen, for sharing.
