I know it would. Something to do with the flat sea in the Sargasso with absolutely nothing on it, and sometimes storms on the horizon, makes for the most incredible skies. I go back and back to experience it…..
There is something magical about any sunset over a panorama of flat ocean, especially when you’re in the middle of it. I could imagine Tampa might give a similar perception~
Absolutely gorgeous! And your narrative goes along with this sequence beautifully too! As I scrolled down to the end, I thought “sleepy time!” even though my official bedtime is several hours away! ~Lynn
It does have a way of drifting you off to sleep, especially when rocked by the sea. But just watching fills you with some innate connectedness that lulls like a lullaby. Sweet dreams Lynn. <3
Thank you Maiko, you are kind! Everday, everywhere, we are given the gifts of sunrise and sunset. It is just up to us to stop and look, which I well know you do! Be well my friend~ <3
Here is a piece of trivia for Alex Trebek to state. The freshwater eel was thought to only exist as an adult because no one knew where they bred. So strange hypothesis existed for millennia. Then it was discovered that all freshwater eels were born in the Sargasso Sea – – – not far from Puerto Rico! Strange but true. Enjoy your trip and be sure to look over the railing to see if you can see any of these creatures that swim up to the Del-Marva peninsula, then past Philadelphia, up the Delaware River, then take the West Branch of the Delaware to Deposit, NY, then up the Oquaga Creek to Artic Lake (before NY state put the damn dam in to enlarge Artic Lake.
Happy Sailing!
I am actually home now Wally. I know that is shocking. These were from the crossing this year in April. I didn’t know about the eels in the Sargasso. Fascinating. I did swim with these massive fresh water eels in Huahine in January. They are sacred to the islanders. I also fed them everyday. I have the photos, but they weren’t the best. Eels are a most unusual critter! Cheers to you Wally and hope you are well my friend~
Love this deep orange progression. I did something similar at the beach with sunrise — just snapping away at tiny intervals of time make you realize how fast this all happens. Love your pictures so much.
Oh, of course, duh on me, sorry! This was taken in the Mid-North Atlantic, in the Sargasso Sea, over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, essentially smack dab in the middle of the North Atlantic.
Those cinammmon buns and the pecan ones are killer. They have a store called Bent n’ Dent in Iowa where they sell slightly damaged food at a massive discount to people who are financially challenged. I was so impressed with the operation and concept, I got into a long discussion with the Amish proprietors about spreading the concept nationwide. Of course, they weren’t interested in starting non-profit franchises all over the US. Remarkable people.
Totally gorgeous shots!! We might have some beautiful sunrises and sunsets, too, but sadly, there are far too many trees and houses blocking the view. Well, on second thought, the trees themselves are lovely regardless!
Awwww, thank you! Trees are lovely, but the ambient light of civilization mutes sunsets which is why they are better away from cities and out in the middle of the ocean, well and in the high latitudes too. Oh, heck they are awesome everywhere! 🙂
So sorry to hear this Mary. And yes, the beauty of the natural world does so much to lift my spirits when I am feeling down. It is almost like it is saying to each of us, ” Take heart. Look you are part of something so much bigger, that is so incredibly beautiful.”
You know this of course Mary, because this is reflected in the beauty that you paint. My thoughts are with you my friend, as well as my empathy, and hopes that you feel better. <3 <3
Thank you so much for your kind note Cindy, always mean so much – especially your continued encouragement and support. I hope you have a beautiful weekend – I’m going out to work hard and that will do me a world of good.
Yes it can go either way, as in WOW that is wonderful, or WOW, that is awful! But whatever it is, if it is WOW, it has made an impression! Laughing… 😉 😉
Sunsets and sunrises they are never the same from day to day and place to place. Not a ship in sight and you own personal view of uniqueness. yay 🙂 Thanks for the share..
P.S. That grey bit in the bottom right corner can be dragged to enlarge. I wish they would tell us these things. 🙂
Wow, I love this series. Colors and composition are amazing, and you have captured a painting of nature that only Mother Nature herself could produce. These would make a great series of photos to hang anywhere in the house. Cheers to a great week!
Vielen Dank fur Ihre freundlichen Worte, mein Freund. Ich bin im November nach Deutschland zuruckkehrte und freuen uns darauf, mehr von Ihrem schonen Land.
Hello Cindy! I just nominated you for the Blogger Recognition Award.
Don´t worry you don´t have to accept the award or do anything, this is just my way to tell you THANK YOU, I admire your work and I am grateful to you for sharing and teaching me so much! Your photographs are amazing really!
There is a lot I can say about those photos of that sunset. And all of it is bad. I have often gone out into the field and taken a photo of the sunset. In fact I did so tonight. But I will never bother to do so again. Your photos have closed the door, shut the gate, turned off the light, stopped the process. They are the final and end of the game. You could at least have included one sort of pathetic shot that we should have met. They are fan-bloody-tas-tic.
Awwww, your kindness is so very appreciated! Please don’t stop taking sunset clicks. I love them all. Each unique, like a fingerprint, some spectacularly vibrant, others subdued, but quietly lovely, but regardless, all so beautiful. Plus one of the things I so love about photography, is the possibility of being in the right place at the right time. I definitely want to see your sunset photos my friend and thank you so much for your thoughtful kindness.
Hi Cindy thank you for the follow I thought you were already following me, but hey it gave the chance to come over here and spend a lovely hour soaking up all your travels! I see you have been to my home town London though I do not live there now. Fabulous photos and memories!! xxx
I am puzzled. I was following you and other people who it seems I am no longer following. I am still trying to sort it out and refollow. Lovely to hear from you and thank you for your thoughtful comments.
Oh,my lovely friend Cindy,the skies are ablaze!Love the intensity of the sunrise and sunset tonalities and the luminous disk amongst the fiery scapes!Great timing!
PS:Thank you for liking my recent post,it means that you know why I disappeared …
And of course,many thanks for re-following me 🙂 xxx
Mintu I am so sorry! That was a mistake. I have been very happily married for many years. I just wanted to change my status to married and this notification went out that I got married! Laughing……this was news to my husband! 😉 😉
Cindy, just playing “catch up” on blogging. Wow! Brilliant, bright golden, orange and red hazy sunsets and rising sun. Almost like being there in person, so bright you look away to rest your eyes. This was an amazing sequence!
I love sunsets more than anything on this Mother Earth! Fabulous photos! How blessed you are to have the camera to take them…and how blessed we are to receive them!
This is absolutely exquisite
You are incredibly kind!
Wow what gorgeous photos!!!
Honored and most appreciative, thank you!
Thank YOU for sharing them!!
You are most welcome! <3
Wow, amazing.
Thank you Paulette! I like it out there in the middle of the vast desert of the Sargasso. It is elemental and powerful.
Beautiful sunset picture. I love the reflection picture (the last) a lot.
Thank you. My husband keeps trying to understand where I got it. It was reflection off the bow of the ship.
So gorgeous!
Awww, you are so nice and so appreciated Carrie! Thank you~
Beautiful!
Mil grazi Timothy & cheers to you~
Beautiful..Love the gentle motion of the sunset 🙂
It makes these amazing sunsets in the middle of the ocean, everynight, with only the whales and turtles watching!
They must enjoy it so much 🙂
They deserve it too!
Beautiful photos Cindy. Love sunsets.
Thank you and glad you do!
stunning, absolutely stunning.
Awww, you are a good friend!
What a beautiful sunset. If you tried to paint it the colours would look unreal.
Leslie
I know it would. Something to do with the flat sea in the Sargasso with absolutely nothing on it, and sometimes storms on the horizon, makes for the most incredible skies. I go back and back to experience it…..
Gorgeous!
Thank you Bette and hope all is well with you my friend~
Quite beautiful sunset, thank you for capture the whole progression, Cindy 🙂
Thank you more for appreciating it!
A pleasure ^_^
These are NG shots! I feel like I was right there… Thank you Cindy! 🙂
You should cross the Atlantic with me Amy. Going again next spring. We could sit on the starn at sunset, snapping away!
Oooh… don’t I wish… <3
I love this post. The only time I’ve seen sunsets like this was in Tampa, FL Gorgeous.
There is something magical about any sunset over a panorama of flat ocean, especially when you’re in the middle of it. I could imagine Tampa might give a similar perception~
Just beautiful.
Merci mon ami! <3
Stunning!
Grazi my friend & cheers too~
Beautiful Cindy. We are surrounded by so many simple miraculous blessings.
Alison
Everyday in many ways! Hugs to you Alison~
What a splendid series of shots! Thanks for the dose of loveliness!
Awww, thank you much more for your kindness. <3
Absolutely gorgeous! And your narrative goes along with this sequence beautifully too! As I scrolled down to the end, I thought “sleepy time!” even though my official bedtime is several hours away! ~Lynn
It does have a way of drifting you off to sleep, especially when rocked by the sea. But just watching fills you with some innate connectedness that lulls like a lullaby. Sweet dreams Lynn. <3
Amazing colours! I am admiring your pictures and the nature!

Beautiful and sublime pictures!
Honored, thank you!
Wow wow wow! Stunning Cindy the color is spectacular! Wow💜😄
Mil grazi Michelle. You have to be in the middle of nowhere for sunsets like this! Cheers to you my friend~
That’s true! Like fire!
Such an amazing capture Cindy! Thank you for sharing with us on this journey 🙂
Thank you much more for joining me!
Simply GORGEOUS! 🙂
So kind and so appreciated!
I’m beguiled!⊂(*‿*)⊃
You beguile me, so it is only fair!
Love this deep orange progression. I did something similar at the beach with sunrise — just snapping away at tiny intervals of time make you realize how fast this all happens. Love your pictures so much.
Visa versa 2 U X 2! Heading over now to see some more of yours. I loved our shared adventures!
Amazing colors and awesome photography.
I am honored by your kindness! Thank you~
Lovely series.
Ml grazi~
Where is that sea…?
It is the dark abyss on the lower half of the photos~
I meant to say where is that sea geographically.. Sorry
Oh, of course, duh on me, sorry! This was taken in the Mid-North Atlantic, in the Sargasso Sea, over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, essentially smack dab in the middle of the North Atlantic.
Who needs to see another ship when you have all this glory to look at! 😉
Exactly, plus there is something wonderful about being the only ship visible in the middle of the ocean.
Gorgeous!
Merci beaucoup!
It’s absolutely gorgeous!
Awwww, so kind!
Quant est ce que vous dormez Chère Cindy …?!!!
Oui, la mer fait une belle berceuse !
Sunset on midsummer the right mood ☺ saluti da Rinaldo da Venezia Italia
.
Gretting a voi il mio amico in splendida Italia!
Amazing pictures! Wow!
Honored that you enjoyed them & cheers to you~
Wow awesome pictures Cindy
So kind & so appreciated!
Beautiful hues. Any eels?
I didn’t see any and we have done this route three times. We are doing it again next year so I am really going to look!
There is a big decline in eels in UK rivers but hopefully there are some gathering in the Sargasso still. Hope you see some next year!
Wow! So spectacular! I have never seen sunset as beautiful as these, geez. . .
Thank you. The sunsets in the middle of the ocean are pretty spectacular. <3
I love them all, Cindy. Breathtaking! Kudos for a very wonderful post! Thank you.
<3 <3
Such amazing captures, Cindy! Love them all. 🙂
Awww, I am honored!

and cheers to you from the mid-west….. 😀 Beautiful pics. So peaceful.

Thank you! I could go for some good midwestern Amish food today, tomorrow and the next day! Wish I could shop in the Amish bakeries too~
hahaha! I have a favorite Amish bulk food store here – and when they have cinnamon buns I go all out! 😀
Those cinammmon buns and the pecan ones are killer. They have a store called Bent n’ Dent in Iowa where they sell slightly damaged food at a massive discount to people who are financially challenged. I was so impressed with the operation and concept, I got into a long discussion with the Amish proprietors about spreading the concept nationwide.

Tōmākē dhan’yabāda Ranu!
Cindy, beautiful, you and the sea. Hugs! V.
Visa versa 2 U X 2! <3
Wow Cindy, this is stunning beautiful. Thank you for sharing the beauty 😀
Thank you much more for taking the time to appreciate it! <3
Really amazing Cindy and the colors are just wow 😉
🙂
Sunsets are by far my favorite scene of all those in nature and to see it’s progression is an awesome capture – thank you for sharing!
Happy 25th Anniversary Antionette! <3 <3
Fascinating
So happy you think so & cheers to you!
Beautiful.
Mil grazi!
What a beautiful series…Cheers =)
Visa versa 2 U X 2!
Absolutely stunning.
I am honored. Thank you!
Beautiful series of photos!
So kind and much appreciated Lavinia~
Such a stunning skyscape! The colour it casts on the ship is so surreal and beautiful.
You are so kind Halim. Thank you and cheers my friend~
This is a very nice serie. See mine too: https://ronaldpoelsphotography.wordpress.com/category/sunset/
Amazing light shows by our Sun 🙂 It doesn’t look quite like that way out on Europa where the ice prevails 😉
Oh, how I would love to visit your planet! <3
A stunning set of images of the sun, sea and blood red sky, mesmerizing Cindy.
Happy you enjoyed Pauline & be well my friend~
was für tolle Bilder, liebe Cindy, ich wünsche dir einen schönen neuen Tag, Klaus
Vielen dank Klaus und Froliche Wochenende mein Freund.
Beautiful moments there, Cindy! Great images 🙂
We are part of an incredible universe!
So beautiful, beauty is everywhere. Thank you
It is, and I am so happy you see the world this way!
I’ve been feeling out of sorts Cindy, your photographs are exactly what I need these days. Thank you for sharing the most amazing sunset.
So sorry to hear this Mary. And yes, the beauty of the natural world does so much to lift my spirits when I am feeling down. It is almost like it is saying to each of us, ” Take heart. Look you are part of something so much bigger, that is so incredibly beautiful.”
You know this of course Mary, because this is reflected in the beauty that you paint. My thoughts are with you my friend, as well as my empathy, and hopes that you feel better. <3 <3
Thank you so much for your kind note Cindy, always mean so much – especially your continued encouragement and support. I hope you have a beautiful weekend – I’m going out to work hard and that will do me a world of good.
That sounds like a good plan, your gifts can save you! Be well my friend~
Wow!
Love that word!
It’s so all encompassing isn’t it?
Yes it can go either way, as in WOW that is wonderful, or WOW, that is awful! But whatever it is, if it is WOW, it has made an impression! Laughing… 😉 😉
Do you EVER stay put?! Your energy and ability to enjoy the beauty of this world leaves me astounded! And tired! 🙂
Laughing……Actually, I have been home now for almost 3 months, which is staying really put for me! 😉 These photos were taken in April…..
Wonderful photos 🙂
Mil grazi~

From one mother to another, I’m eternally grateful for such expressions of creative grandeur.

Wonderful!! ( Prachtig) 🙂 many greetz from Holland

I feel like I should have been drinking a glass of wine whilst scrolling through the pictures.
Wow. Breathtaking, Cindy!
Well, laughing, they would enhance the visuals! 😉
Beautiful, Cindy. It was lovely to watch the progression of the sinking sun through the clouds. The colors are amazing!
So pleased you enjoyed! Looking at the photos makes me itch to be back out in mid-ocean~
Magnificent!
Awwwww, thank you!
Congratulations!

Great point of view.
