So amazing the soft cotton candy pink that the sky throws down into the water. It makes for such a dramatic scene.
Croatia has some of the most beautiful sunsets that I have ever seen, especially if you are overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
Upped and Steemed

Thank you so much @dswigle 😊
Croatia is a beautiful country and we love to spend our holidays there. The people are nice and the water is clean and clear.
Because we can be there at the sea within 3 hours we sometimes go there for a weekend, if the weather forecast is OK.
Very lucky! I haven't been back to Croatia in five or six years, which makes me sad as it is simply wonderful there. The economy wasn't doing that well at last look, so I hope that it is doing better and the job situation is much better.
Oh, three hours away!! How perfect!
You have been to croatia? Cool, then you know how nice it is there. Tourism has increased in recent years and prices have risen, but the country is still beautiful and people are nice.
I have! I lived in Europe and visited Croatia a handful of times. I do know how nice it is there and I really loved it. I went when it was poor and there were no tourists and then when things began to rise. How luck for you to be so close!
OK, I understand now :)
We made our first holidays in the very south there in the early nineties when tourists were like friendly welcome aliens ;)
Me too!! 1994 to be exact! It was so different than. It was pretty exciting to be there back then, :)
Yes, when we were there we drove through villages with so many destroyed houses, and even nowadays you can see some houses with damages from machine guns, but the places where they have tourism are nicely restaurated, especially at the coast.

That's so nice of you, thank you very much again, @dswigle and @tipu 😊
Seems like water always makes a great setting for a sunset! Nice shot!
Thank you @old-guy-photos :)
Yes, with water and reflections you can't do anything wrong to get a good photo. And when there are some dramatic clouds the photo will get even better :)
LOve this such gorgeous light and lovely warm pastel shades
Thank you :)
The photo ist a few years old and I took it while we were eating pizza in Croatia.
Even a few years old still so beautiful
I do remember some delightful sun rises and sets on the coast in Croatia a pity I didn’t have a camera back then
;)
I think you all have been to Croatia before - have you been there in the nineties also? Strange that we haven't met, because there were only a few tourists there ;)
This one was the most intense red colored sunset I have ever seen in Croatia or anywhere else.
No filter, no special sunset setting, no post processing :)
Wow that is spectacular
Let’s see I first was based in Bosnia around I think 96 and was there for 18 months that time and made many trips to Croatia then I think it was 2001 I went back for another year
Yes indeed not to many tourist when I was first there more so the second time
Ah, you were no tourist 😃
We have spent our summer holidays at the coast, quite south and a few times close to Albania. But I don't think I have ever seen US or NATO uniforms there. Sometimes airplanes and jets flew along the coast, but it's a long time.

NO and Yes, I was not a tourist in Bosnia and did some work visits to Croatia, Mainly Zagreb Split and Dubrovnik, but also played tourist for a few visits to the coast.
I was NZ Military, but wasn’t MIlitary when I was working there although we did coordinate with the NATO, I was with the UN Mission there
OK, that sounds complicated to me 🤔, @tattoodjay, and I do not need to know more 😁 It would have been a big coincidence if we met there and now on Steemit again, because we have been only for one week in summer each year there.

Very beautiful silvery and pinky sea. The sky and evening sunlight in that part of the world seem to be much more gentle than here (hot and dramatic!). I bet the air must have been quite fresh and crisp!

Thank you @kaminchan :)
This was only a quick photo I took at dinner, because these clouds were so very dramatic and the sun was shining through... unfortunately, I cannot remember how the air was ;)
Magnificent contrast of severe sky and very calm sea! Two feelings, anxiety and tranquility combined in one picture. Aivazovsky, unfortunately, can no longer see it and put oil on canvas. Wonderful shot!
Thank you again, dear @barski, and you describe the image exactly as it was.
I just googled Aivazovsky (Iwan Konstantinowitsch Aiwasowski) - you are good, very good 😊
Oh bei solch einer Aussicht schmeckt das Essen doch gleich viel besser. Wobei ich mich fast nicht aufs Essen konzentrieren könnte und eher mit fotografieren beschäftigt wäre 😇
