The sun sets on a short padde
Dean send an invitation for a one night kayak camp trip. We're going next week for a seven day, six night trip so I passed. I had to pay for a week off with some chores at home.
The evening was so nice that I decided on an impromptu paddle down the well worn path to Topsail Beach. The brilliant sunlight caught on the weathered rocks of the Topsail Fault.
I like paddling by myself at times but those trips don't yield many interesting pictures. A kayak blog should have shots of kayakers in them but going solo makes that impossible.
I stopped at Topsail Beach for a short stretch with the sunlight glistening on the wet rounded beach cobbles.
Heading back I kept an eye on the setting sun which slowly sank into ...
... the low faraway clouds.
I get a real feel for the speed of the Earth's rotation watching the sun set.
While the sun had set in the west, its rays added a tinge of red to clouds hanging in the north.
As I paddled north I saw another kayaker coming south towards me. It resulted in a bit of an adventure but more on that later.
