Good Morning, Folks!

Another Sunset shot from my appartment's balcony :)

Just to give you an idea of the scale of the picture, I included the building (see lower center part of picture) is a multistory building having more than 20 stories. Here, I like the mood and the clouds arrangement in the sky.

I hope you like this shot.

kind regards,
Paras

Information from WiKiPedia on the City of Halle (Saale):


Halle is the largest city in the German State of Saxony-Anhalt. It is also called Halle an der Saale (literally Halle on the Saale river, and in some historic references simply Saale after the river) in order to distinguish it from Halle in North Rhine-Westphalia. The current official name of the city is Halle (Saale).

It is situated in the southern part of the state, along the river Saale which drains the surrounding plains and the greater part of the neighboring Free State of Thuringia located just to its south, and the Thuringian basin, northwards from the Thuringian Forest. Leipzig, one of the other major cities of eastern Germany, is only 40 km away.

Halle's early history is connected with harvesting of salt. In fact the name Halle may be derived from a Pre-Germanic word for salt. The name of the river Saale also contains the Germanic root for salt and salt-harvesting has taken place in Halle at least since the time of the Bronze Age.

The town was first mentioned in 806. It became a part of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg in the 10th century and remained so until 1680, when Brandenburg-Prussia annexed it together with Magdeburg as the Duchy of Magdeburg. In 1815 it became part of the Prussian Province of Saxony.

After World War II Halle served as the capital of the short-lived administrative region of Saxony-Anhalt, this was until 1952 when the East German government abolished its "Länder" (States). As a part of East Germany (until 1990), it functioned as the capital of the administrative district ("Bezirk") of Halle. When Saxony-Anhalt was re-established as a Bundesland, Magdeburg became the capital.

Hello, Paras =
If I were you, I would never tire of the view from your balcony. Magnificent sky with amazing colors and cloud formations. The small amount of horizon, the top of the building and the tree tops give some perspective to the image. Beautiful.

Hi Paras,

A beautiful sunset from a high POV. The colors are oustanding, nature putting on quite a show. The silhouettes are very nice and do indeed provide a sense of scale. There are two dark spots in the picture that may be from dust on the lens, but they can be easily cloned out.

Best regards,
Werner

dear Paras,
silhouettes of trees and square buildings is beautiful,
various patterns and colors of clouds are excellent.
this sunset view shows both satisfactory and anxious feeling,
those two are always coexist in our minds, but the sunset time like this, we can feel enhanced both,
maybe the light and the shadow make our sensations so delicate,
thank you,
Akihisa
