Here at the Indiana Dunes, the DNR posts the sunset times on their big activity boards. Last night we went to the beach and, along with quite a few other people, watched the sun set at 6:52 pm.

It was really quite surprising how fast the sun went down. Within 15 minutes the beach was cleared of everyone but us.

The best photos of a sunset (in my opinion) come after the sun has gone down. The colors are much more dramatic then.

Mom took quite a few photos and I cannot wait to see how hers turn out.

My feet were getting cold so I sat on the sand while Mom continued taking photos. I declared this to be my space, Facebook was over there. (I apologize for the terrible pun.)
