I have been longing for a sunset challenge.
For my 51st birthday a dear and forever friend took me to Tahiti for 4 days.
What a surprising place it was.
On our last night there – Tahiti presented me with a gift.
Her heavens opened up with the most amazing sunset my eyes have ever seen.
This is what I saw that night.
I’m sorry there are so many.
I couldn’t choose between them.

Nice Shot
Thanks Jake
What a great birthday gift. Beautiful photos.
I am a lucky girl – yes the trip was great – but I’m lucky to have her in my life.
Beautiful
Thank you
like seeing the sun set in my living room…
Awww – that’s nice to hear.
The water looks like liquid gold… beautiful.
It was an amazing sight that night.
Never apologise for sharing many…each one is so unique and majestic in it’s own right.
Thank you for saying so – I did love them all. It was hard to choose.
Gosh Jo Thank you so much for taking us all to Tahiti!!! Wow–that is so stunningly gorgeous. Great shots!
It was an amazing experience sitting there watching the sunset these came from.
beautiful golden sunsets. do you live near the beach?
I live not far from the water – but not the beach sadly. So glad you liked the sunsets.
Lovely Jo, I can’t imagine Tahiti, it’s so far from my corner of the world so thanks for sharing!
Hi Gilly – Tahiti was not at all what I imagined. Luckily the friend I was with is a lot like me and likes to go where the locals are, and get away from the tourist areas. So we saw and met some amazing poeple and sights in Tahiti. I loved the place.
I’m sorry there are so many.
I couldn’t choose between them.
Sorry, says she? Sorry?
Schmorry, says eye!
Dear friend, know it would have been such a same, almost a crime, NOT to share such sunsets with the lot of us
PS: Thanks for commenting on that piece I sent to you. I don’t remember if I ever figured out how to respond to your response…LOL. Hope you have a great day <3
Another PS: Great gift from that friend of yours!
Oh so glad that you liked them all. Got your e-mail with the smiley face so all’s good. And yep she is a good’un – the friend I mean…hehehe
Beautiful series! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for saying so…
I love the colours of the sunset! Lovely photos and surely it was a very nice present for your birthday, watching a beautiful sunset by the beach
Thanks for stopping by and telling me this. it was a wonderful present.
She is a wonderful friend. 
Wonderful place Jo. Loves these pictures.
I am really happy to hear that you liked them. They are special to me.
I liked the 3rd photo the most.
Thank you for stopping by
Glad you liked one .
Travelling is one of the best things you can do – if I had more money I would spend it all on journeys to all those beautiful places on earth. Sunset in Tahiti – you are so lucky! Beautiful photos!
I think more money would see a lot of us taking more journeys to places that call to us.
Stunning photos Jo, it looks great there, to far for me to travel sadly.
Thanks DP – it is a great place. But there are plenty of great places near you as well to explore and enjoy.
sometimes less is more, and yet here is a perfect example where less would have been less.
so thanks for sharing. and thank you also for visiting my sunset from the west coast. much appreciated.
What a lovely comment – thanks
Great photos, Jo!!!
I know how is hard to choose beetwen different photos. I have always the same problem.
I bet YOU do !!! I’ve seen some of your images – amazingly talented you are .
Thanks – so glad you liked them.
The photos are wonderful, all of them:-) I just can imagine the feeling of look on that sunset in real life. Kind regards Britta
Hi Britta,
thank you.
It really was indescribable – what a terrible thing for a writer to say. It was a moment that I actually stopped and noticed no other thing around me but the effect of that light on my world.
nice work! – rita
Hi Rita – so glad you liked them.
Jo
That is a beautiful sunset. I like the first one the best. I love the way it makes everything golden.
Thank you Connie. I really appreciate your comments.
I’m with the rest, no need to censure! The colours are so wonderfully odd and mesmerizing!
I loved the way the black sand looks against the warmth of the sun. Give me black sand beaches any day !!!
I know your pain of not being able to choose. I always figure, there’ll be another chance. Amazing how each sunset is its own.
Your right there.
Thank you.
Wow, those are absloutely stunning.
I am thrilled that you think so – it is fabulous to hear others like what you have done !!!
What a spectacular sky! I’m sure you’ll remember it for a long time! Thanks for visiting me. Enjoy the week.
I think I will always remember it.
A slice of heaven! Thanks for sharing them.
Thank you
It was heaven…
Magical .. it’s as if the sky put a painting together just for you and you got to take it home.
The perfect gift.
Isadora
Oh what a wonderful comment Isadora – yes – it was exactly like that.
Oh my… your photographs are simply mesmerizing. i love them!
Thank you very much.

All are stunning sunsets! I couldn’t choose between them either.
Thank you Theresa.

It was – thank you for your visit – and a lovely day to you…
every one of the pictures looks beautiful infusing a sense of calmness.
Oh what a wonderful way to phrase this.
Like you, I am glad that you used all the pictures there. It should be series to make it more beautiful.
Thank you so much for saying that – I really appreciate it.
The second and fourth shots work best for me Jo – the cloud and the foreground beach really balance the composition. Looks like a very pleasant evening by the sea
I’m glad you liked them – it was a wonderful evening – magical you could say.
Yes, they are all amazing. What a priceless and beautiful gift from the heavens. This sunsets I won’t forget. So blissful….thank you.
I am really thrillled to hear you liked them so much – thank you
So pleased you couldn’t decide b/w them as we get to enjoy them all! Many Happy returns!
Awwww – thank you Patti for saying so.
Sunset in Tahiti. It sounds like it should be a fancy drink. Spectacular pictures! I think that water looks a bit like thick whipped chocolate batter, the way it blends atop the sand in the front of the pictures.
Thick whipped chocolate batter – oh how I love where your mind goes.
I just love sunsets over water, me & my wife think they are just so romantic.
They are that – i love my girlfriend dearly – but for a minute there I thought it would be nice to be with someone on a romantic level to enjoy it.
WOW!!!… Beautiful… All just as beautiful as each other… nature sure gives us a wonderful display..
She does that – I’m just glad I was lucky enough to see this one.
wow. like a miracle the sunset:) thanks for sharing…
Thank you for saying so
