Sunsets please....3

   Hi all,

as Cameron suggested, I openend a new sunset thread.

My own sunsets remind me of the movie "smoke" with harvey keitel, a guy who takes a shot at the same spot for many years, every day.

So I don't get around much, but I still love those sunsets, and not one is  similar to the next...(all from our flat in Vienna, with A700 & CZ16-80, C1 V4)

The last 2 were taken with a thunderstorm approaching, the combination of the setting sun & the thunder clouds was quite something.

regards,

Bernd

	Any movie fans out there? What classic film does THIS remind you of?

	Aaaargh... I just can't put my finger on it! A black and white movie, right? Citizen Kane? No, that's not it :( Darn!

	Think 2 years older than "Kane", and in glorious Technicolor.

	Hmmm... I don't think there were that many movies released in colour that year... Gone with the wind? :)

	Yes. I'm not sure if it strikes others that way, but it was the first thing that I thought of.

	Dunno... I didn't think of it because the one clear image I have of "Gone with the wind" is the two of them on the hill, at sunset. Your pic (very good one, BTW) reminded me of Citizen Kane, I just can't explain why. Bottom line: "objective accomplished", as it does remind one of an old movie :)

	it does answer that question "What to do with that panorama " ? I sold the pic probabaly a year ago but they were having legal problems trying to sell it in other countries but I see they can now sell it in their home country of Australia. The picture is a wrap around dust cover on the hard cover. I sold the picture outright .. a 4 pic panorama... I always wondered what to do with a pano LOL !! I dont think they will mind me posting their pic since I mentioned the book " The Winds of Tara " Bob The book review even looks good ! Book Review
