Sky Watch #125: Mediterranean Sunset

Mediterranean Sunset

A sunset shot I took during my 2009 Mediterranean cruise. We were leaving Barcelona here and would be docking in Civitavecchia (Rome) the following morning.

This is a SOOC.

Sky Watch is a weekly gathering of sky lovers and sky watchers. Join us.
