A Saturday Sunset

I'll have to admit, the cool thing about living on the west coast of Australia is that you get some great sunsets. I've seen good ones every time I've been there. Last night (Saturday) Jonnene and I headed down to Scarborough Beach to enjoy the sights and watch the end of the day.

Walking along Scarborough Beach we got blasted by a strong wind that blew sand into our shoes and against our bare legs like a sandblaster. All the shells near the surface of the sand were exposed and there were plenty of them all around us.

This was cool to watch. A number of wind surfers and kite surfers out on the water...cold water, I might add since all of them were wearing wetsuits. We saw several of the kite surfer guys take off into the air when they got a good gust of wind and travel a couple of hundred meters. Some of them got about 30 feet into the air!

The sun went down directly over Rottnest Island, about 12 miles west off the coast from Perth.

After the sun disappeared from the horizon you could clearly see the outline of Rottnest Island in the distance. You can see the silhouettes of the buildings and the lighthouses.
Just spectacular.
