Postcards for the weekend: sunrise, sunset



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!

  2. I 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.

  6. Hi 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.
