A window with a view...

i just love the sunsets.. in fact i think every photographer fond of landscape photography loves sunsets.. he is always on lookout for that perfect shot of the sun setting which captures the beautiful play of colors in the sky and some lovely silhouettes.. and this requires some effort also.. you gotta be at the right place with the right view at the right time.. but in my trip to Finland i got really lucky.. as i drew the curtains of my hotel room(which was on the 12th floor), i saw this lovely view of the Tampere city.. at dusk i could see the sun set in the horizon. at dawn if i looked in the other direction, i could see sun rise.. this post contains the shots i clicked from that hotel window over my month long stay in Tampere..

on another day..




usually the weather in Tampere was cloudy and rainy.. when the sun came out, it was celebration time..


a rare sight in Tampere: the Sun..


another sunset..




on a clear day..


at dusk..


the typical red sky..


a wider angle..


the city at night..


another day..








after the rains..


only time i saw the moon..





even the clouds are on fire..


another wide shot..


the burning clouds..


the ashes..




yet another sunset..


the only sunrise.. there the sun rose at 4am, a time i can never wake up at, however much i try.. this day i woke up by chance..


that evening..


bursting clouds..


sighs of sun beyond the clouds..


the last day in Tampere..


from orange to red..
