Cobo Bay, Guernsey

When I was a youngster one of the popular songs was 'Galway Bay' by Bing Crosby, which included the line 'And see the sun go down on Galway Bay'. In my early 20's I went with a couple of friends to Ireland where we hired a car and drove from Dublin over to the west coast visiting various places including Galway Bay, but I don't remember actually seeing the sun go down there. I have, however, seen the sun go down on Cobo Bay in Guernsey, and on our recent visit we drove down to Cobo three days running to see the sunset. Here are three photographs taken on those days.

Sunset

Rather a stunning sunset in Hyde on Friday night and I took a couple of photographs:

This was taken with the Canon EOS with a 90mm lens

This was with the Olympus X-43

This is what it looked like at much the same time in Guernsey.

Sunsets

Everyone seems to feature photographs of sunsets on their blogs, so I thought I might as well join in with a couple of my own:

This was taken on Saturday night, September 8th, looking from the back bedroom window towards Manchester.
