Last week we went to see Annikki's sister. As it was nearing sunset, we thought a visit to the beach may give us something to brood about.
As we were driving, both Annikki and I noticed that the sky was becoming a wonderful golden purple as the sun was fast setting and the clouds had a great formation..
When we turned on to the beach road, the sun was already behind an island far out at sea and the view was amazing.
The island and the trees seemed to be alight with flames.

Which photograph of the Island on Fire is better. Both of rushed out of the car running to the beach to catch a shot with our cheap pocket cameras, which both of us carry with us all the time!
I am not going to reveal who took which shot, but it is test of each one's eye as against the reflex time.
Within a minute of us taking these shots - the scene had changed.
The clouds were as if painted in the sky, also an amazing colour spectrum. Annikki saw it change from purplish white to grey.
Sunsets, each one being different, in Oulu are truly amazing.
