Hi Martin, this is beautiful, I love your place and last two photographs are stunning! 🙂
-
Thank you aRVee – The Wembley one was the result of lots of visits (fortunately it’s only a short walk from my home)!

Oh, my! They are gorgeous, Martin!

Thanks for the kind comment Nancy – The biggest problem with sunset photos is actually getting the opportunity to catch one. Just a few minutes can make all the difference!

Terrific sequence here.
The Manor Cottage approach is so quintessentially English a street, it makes me very nostalgic.-
Thanks Judith – That road is a bit of an anomaly in the area. It doesn’t go anywhere and obviously predates the A road which is on the embankment to the right. I wondered if it used to lead through to the Manor Cottage Tavern that was on the other side of the railway line but that seems a bit odd too as there was a lane behind the gardens which went there and had a bridge over the railway. Or perhaps they once intended to build a station there – it’s halfway between East Finchley and Finchley Central. There you go, one of my little local mysteries that I have yet to solve 🙂

Great images! I especially love the 2nd photo … the lines of the telephone poles, the street scene with the houses .. the sky – great image, it all ties in together!
-
Thank You 🙂
-
-
You forgot…sublime! Your sunsets are that…and more! 🙂
-
Thanks for the kind comment – Sunsets are a beauty of nature that we should all be able to share and enjoy 🙂

love the street one best great pics xxjen
-
Hi Jen – thanks for that. I always find everyday streets have something of interest 🙂
-
-
Wembley does sunsets so well, with that silhouette over the Westway….gorgeous pictures, Martin.
-
Thanks very much Kate. This is from East End Road, Finchley, looking roughly along the North Circular. I’ll have to give it a look from the other end one of these days 🙂

I love the second one where the drama of the sky is contrasting with the ordinary street.
-
Hi Isobel – I thought a variety was best as the sky is so changeable and every sunset is different. The street shot seems to have struck a chord with several commenters – perhaps because it is a view of the ordinary enhanced by the evening light? Thanks for looking and commenting 🙂
-
There are many beautiful photos of beautiful sunsets, but for me at least, the subject has become a bit hackneyed, and I start to glaze over. Whereas a picture like this one makes me stop and look because it is not the standard sunset shot; its beauty is less obvious. Does that make sense?
-
I understand fully Isobel. I think the issue is that there are not too many tangents you can go off on with this subject whereas other recent subjects have often been open to a wider range of interpretations. Lets hope next week’s subject is less constrained 🙂

Very nice photos!
-
Thank you Fergiemoto 🙂
Wow, fantastic photos! To quote Tina Fey, “I want to go to there!”
-
Thanks Ammon – I had no idea who Tina Fey was but I do now! Love that delivery 😉
My favorite, the second from the top down. all very nice!
-
Thank You Cedric – That one seems to be popular. It proves an old adage about not having to travel the world to get a good photo – taken 200 metres from where I live!
Wonderful variations from the head-on, traditional sunset. Great photos as usual.
-
Thanks very much Donna 🙂
Love your gradation of sunsets!
-
Thanks – I thought a bit of variation would be a good thing 🙂
I enjoy your photos. you have composed them perfectly. The first one.. the palm tree silhoette is perfect against the evening sky. I love the lines of the wires combined with the old street scene. I love your progression from subtle to brilliant..
-
Thank you Maggie 🙂
I love the second photo – the buildings and the wires in the sky – its so different and lovely 🙂 Judy
-
Thank you Judy.
Wow, those are just amazing. Spellbinding, beautiful orange and golden sunsets. Thanks for sharing them with us. Wishing you and your family a lot of joyous sunsets.
-
Thank you – my very best wishes to you and yours also 🙂
Beautiful photos. I love the colours 🙂
-
Thank you Gracie.
Spectacular, Martin!
Wow – I never see anything bland here!
All are amazing, sir!
🙂
-
Thanks Bob 🙂
Oh Martin I always enjoy your interpretations, but the shot of manor Cottage Approach is fabulous – I love its juxtopostion of simplicity and complexity in an English street.
-
Thanks Jo – That seems to be the preferred shot with a lot of people. I was on my way home from football when I took it 🙂
I love the stunning colours of the 2nd last one. And the street of houses looks so quiet & peaceful. Don’t know why but it just does. We live on a busy noisy main road so somewhere quiet like that would be lovely
-
Thanks Tony – It was a nice sky that evening looking towards Wembley. Manor Cottage Approach is a dead end, so no big traffic issues for the residents 🙂
So true … !!!

Hi Isadora, I’m guessing that you’re agreeing with the range of sunset types or, maybe Tony’s comment. Either way, thanks for popping by 🙂
Wow, North London has kicked Tenerife well into the shade. Fabulous shots!
-
Thank you Patti – I’m sure Tenerife gets its fair share of great sunsets, just not while I was there!
I Like the Thornbush Sunset the cloud looks Amazing,really wow:)
-
Thanks Jake – Taken on my Mother-in-Law’s farm in Zimbabwe a few years back 🙂

Thanks Bob – I always feel sunsets (and sunrises too) come under the heading ‘The Lord Giveth’. Fortunately the government haven’t found a way to take them away yet 😉
