Hunting for the sunset

I love sunsets

I had this idea that I'd be hunting for the sunset every single night as soon as we'd arrive in Spain. And although I did this for the first weeks after arrival, the not-so-clear sky made it impossible to shoot some clear and cool pictures of the sunset or moon phases. I thought that was an absolute shame when the June full moon arrived. Thankfully, I did capture some nice pictures when the sunset was near, too bad that the sunset wasn't at the side of the sea, which would have made some even better pictures.

There's something calming about the sea

When we stayed in our second Airbnb apartment, we were staying 25m from the sea. Meaning, that every evening, we'd walk on the boulevard and just enjoy the ocean breeze and calming sound of the waves. I love that sound, I could sit there for hours just listening to that and be totally zen afterward.

A lot of wind

During our week at this 2nd location, the wind was ON! One day it was so rough that both my daughter and I were almost blown away while walking at some open spots and I almost lost my purse twice that morning. I could barely talk, the crazy thing is I know these windy moments from Holland but only in combination with rain and storm, not when it's bloody hot at the same time! This is very deceiving as well as the wind makes you think it's cool, meanwhile the sun is possibly giving nasty burns if you aren't careful and use sunscreen.

Palmtrees

I don't know why, but when we moved to Budapest, I missed the palm trees so much. They give this feeling of holiday and I just like how they look, some look like giant pineapples and I love that haha. Tropical views make me feel a bit touristic until I realize, this is where we live!!! And those realizations make me feel intensely happy!

Palmtrees will be seen often in my pictures..

Good memories

Even though we didn't have 1 swim when we lived 25 m from the beach, I still have great memories because of the long walks and good talks we had. We really felt at peace those evenings and I'm glad we're spending more time actually being together as a family and talking together about all sorts of things. We are getting back into a more relaxed state of mind and ideas and plans are slowly coming to the surface again, which I love!

I guess that the big majority of people like sunsets more than early sunrises but I am part of the second category. There's something special about a sunrise, usually, it's a lot quieter as most people are asleep when this is happening and everything around feels fresh, but that's just me, in the end I like them both. 😆

I think I should give hunting for the sunrise a try myself as it's still cool at that time and probably very tranquil to be walking on the boulevard, having a breakfast near the water :)

Thanks for the inspiration :)

Thank you, and I can't get enough of sunsets, even if they are not in sight exactly lol. Even the colored sky in the background is nice to see

Long walks by the beach in the evenings, cool breeze in a serene place surrounded by palm trees! Seems like heaven in Spain. 😄 Lovely pictures.

Sunsets are always beautiful if you have a clear sky and I wouldn't mind watching the sun set at such a lovely location. I hope you get to swim in the beach soon! 😊 !CTP !LADY

They are defo a vacation vibe, I've always found that and I'm honestly still not 100% used to the fact that these trees belong to the area I live in now.

We're trying to enjoy it to the fullest way possible, but going back to having no car and living uphill with 35-40 degrees every day now, is not really appealing going out during the day. Heck, even a walk down to the sea would be fine, but then spending time there and needing to go uphill once the heat is ON, is not really something we're considering currently. So if we'd have a car, it would be better, but we knew this was not going to happen immediately.

Step by step, once it's September, the heat hopefully drops and maybe if we're lucky we won't have too many restrictions right away so we can enjoy that month maybe even with a car :)

Moving countries is stressful even if planned carefully, there are always things out of your hands, the "manana culture" is a thing for real, trying to embrace it a bit now :) instead of stressing lol..

Meanwhile, doing tapas a few times a week is already a huge upgrade from our life in Budapest, even if we count the car there..

Such a place is probably my dream!) I also really love sunsets and the sound of water. Especially if it's the sea! Cool shots!

It appears that your hunting for sunset is incomplete. Because the setting Sun is not seen in any of your pictures. However, the pictures are awesome, no doubt.

Keep exploring.

Absolutely true, while writing I totally forgot to add that I wasn't able to find ANY sunset on the side of the town where we lived, you can see in the one picture that the sky turned orange, but all only seen from the other side of town. I was actually hoping for a sunset above the sea but you can't change the side where the sun comes up or goes down, unfortunately :)

The title was more about that I was actively trying to capture these sunsets and moon phases not about succeeding but for some reason I forgot to add that part, so here it is :)

The full moon hunting was more successful, thankfully..
