Here are two lovely photographs (well, I think they are lovely) of Cedar Key just around twilight. The first is looking due east, with the sunset behind. It's a bit dim, but I love the soft bluish lavender of the sky and that peculiar bright blue of the water that I associate with just those few moments before nightfall.
It's just some houses/hotels and a few pontoon boats, but aren't the colors beautiful?
It was taken facing east with the sunset behind. You can see the reflection of the orange tints reflected in the house and the rocks. I was trying to get more of a sense than I did of the waterfront town---visible around the bend---but I ended up liking this photograph just because it really gave me that "sunset on the Gulf" feeling, when the moments seem to rush by so fast. Once the sun reaches a certain point on the horizon, it just seems to sink into the water.
