   Oooh, nice. Good / serendipitous timing, too, to get the sun half in the clouds and half reflected.

   Lovely – reminds me of the sunsets over the sea that we used to watch when we lived in Aberystwyth (from the seafront pub of course!).

   Gorgeous! It reminds me of my childhood family holidays in a beach house in Norfolk overlooking the Wash. There is something very theraputic about watching the sun go down after a great day outdoors.

   This picture is taken looking towards the Wash. It was like this most nights, it's a really relaxing way to end the day (ok the wine helped too!!)

   I tried to get a shot of the sun dropping behind the horizon with the reflection on the sea but it was just a little cloudy, sounds like a good excuse to go on holiday again!! :)

   I just had a funny question from an old friend (who thinks too much!!)

   We all know the sun sets in the West, and we all know Norfolk is on the East cost, so how did you get a picture of the sunset over the sea?

   Norfolk is indeed a bootifull place for a talented photographer, big skies, big seas – room to breathe. As a long term Norfolker (1984 – 2000) your photo has made me very nostalgic – sadly, I haven't even FOUND the Warwickshire beaches. Also Canaries a very fine football team in a fine City.

   I thought the same thing as your friend when I first saw the photo – my better half is from Norfolk and we have, in the dim and distant pre-children past, watched the sun rise from some of the Norfolk beaches.

   But then I remembered that from about Wells westwards the coast heads south-west, and from Hunstanton it goes directly south, so a photo of the sunset seemed acheivable. I guess you were somewhere around there ?

    This photo was taken about 15 miles south of Wells, if you travel about 5 miles further south a sunset photo becomes very difficult, unless you're very tall!! :)

    Norfolk is such a lovely place, i'm amazed the number of people i've met who move away to live in the city! Maybe the job maket isn't very good, or people get sick of the view…..but I cannot imagine that!
