This is a very nice capture...v,

Both Sunrises and sunsets are blessings for photography and you captured this one at Lake Tahoe so very well. I also appreciate your written comment of sunset, dusk, sundown and twilight. Sometimes we need reminders. Great Work. FV

Sunset or sundown is the daily disappearance of the Sun below the horizon in the west as a result of Earth's rotation. The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment the trailing edge of the Sun's disk disappears below the horizon in the west. The ray path of light from the setting Sun is highly distorted near the horizon because of atmospheric refraction, making sunset appear to occur when the Sun’s disk is already about one diameter below the horizon. Sunset is distinct from dusk, which is the moment at which darkness falls, which occurs when the Sun is approximately eighteen degrees below the horizon. The period between sunset and dusk is called twilight.

Thanks Ken - Sunsets at Lake Tahoe are Majical.

Outstanding shot LeeAnn.
