Location
Sunset photos are always popular—everybody wants to take a good one. No exception, here. But on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Mexico, they are spectacular almost every day. So keep your camera and a good exposure at the ready. This one is from late January, 2017. It was followed by cocktails and a wonderfully cooked dinner.Time
