Just beyond the sunset Lies a home for me Where the world is peaceful Like a paradise should be Just beyond the sunset Someday is where you’ll find me - David Harris
Bringing to you another edition of sunset captured in Sydney Australia. These weren’t shot from any popular spot or vantage points. I must say, I feel extremely lucky to witness this beauty while I was simply going about my business.
For instance, the sky happened to look like this and the road without any traffic as we made our way back home one fine winter evening.
I didn’t know the lake next to my suburb looked this peaceful. We decided to stop by Ponds to do our grocery shopping for the week. Instead we ended up walking around this lake, admiring the westering sun.
I was rushing to the station to catch my train, and while waiting at the traffic light, happened to look at the sky. Made me stop right away.
Catching sunsets are we?
Another drive back from grocery shopping. Hmmm I should do more of grocery shopping in the evening.
Pink and purple skies are pretty common in Sydney. The first time I saw them at Bald Hill, I was in awe. Remember the cotton candy sky with a rainbow just outside my home. We were driving back from Jenolan Caves when the sky started turning pink. A stop by the roadside to stretch our legs and breathe in the cool mountain air was enough for the long drive back home.
The next two sunset pictures were clicked from my workplace. Just between Spring (September) and October long weekend (when the clock goes forward by one hour ), one could see sunset right at around 5 pm. A perfect way to call it a day and go home.
Pin for later

Beautiful sunset series. Great post. Happy Friday, enjoy your day. Have a great weekend ahead!
Gorgeous captures!
First one is a stunner. Nature is flexing it´s muscles. Rays of light looks divine. Very nice indeed.
Such gorgeous shots.
Yep, all seven were beauties. The last two and the one withe reflections of the traffic light were my faves. You have a great eye…kudos…
Beautiful. I don’t miss an opportunity to capture the crepuscular rays arising during evening hours. But you need to be watchful 🙂
Stunning pics
Gorgeous photographs. Beautiful Sunsets.
Absolutely breathtaking and mesmerising sunsets, Rajlakshmi! No match for our Bangalore skies…Sydney is way more magical, any day! And your captures are simply too good!!!
Stunning sunsets. Sydney certainly does know how to put on a show
Ah it’s really beautiful! I used to live in Sydney and this made me feel a sense of nostalgia 🙂 you’re a great photographer!
Wonderful sunset pics! We have some gorgeous sunsets here in the San Francisco Bay Area as well.
Great photos, my camera and phone always have sunrise or sunset pics where ever I am in the world too 😀
I love how you capture sunsets from so many different angle, capturing the beauty of the sky and the variable nature of the city itself. Really really beautiful.
Beautiful photos! Makes me miss Australia so much. I lived in Melbourne for a bit and saw some beautiful skies there too.
So beautiful! I just returned from Hawaii where I thought I had seen the most beautiful sunsets in the world but these photos look like Australia might have Hawaii beat.
Ahhh I have seen some of the most spectacular sunsets ever from the car!!! It just reminds you that the sun sets every night and yet we only rarely get to experience it in all of its glory. Lovely photos.
Such beautiful photos. It’s such a blessing to live somewhere with beautiful sunsets or sunrises. I used to live in Los Angeles and loved to sit on my rooftop deck and watch the sunset. Even over the streets, it was always spectacular.
Gorgeous photos! When I travel I’m always up for sunrise as its my favorite time of the day. Because of the early mornings, it’s rare when I see a sunset. Your photos have reminded me what I’m missing. I should try to catch a few more. Thanks for sharing.
These sunsets alone are enough to make me want to make that long overdue trip to Australia. Thanks for sharing these beauties, Raji.
Absolutely gorgeous photos! ❤ Thank you for sharing these lovely sunsets.
Wow!!! I’m a little jealous of you, ai must admit. But your pictures also bring in a message to me that once in a while, we must stop, pause and look around to admire nature. There’s so much beauty to calm us. Lovely clicks!!
true beauty is all around us. Thank you.
Love, love, love the sunsets! The photo series has inspired me to look up more. Thank you for sharing. 😍
so glad you liked them. Thank you 😀
You really bring meaning to the term ‘Look Up’ 🙂 I remember seeing the caption on the one with the upturned umbrellas on Instagram and loving it!
Each shot is more beautiful than the next. What a delightfully gorgeous thing is Nature!
hahaha hopefully I won’t hit a pole by looking up so much 😀
Glad you liked the pictures.Thank you 😀
That first pic is so amazing… classy.
thank you Doc 🙂
Woah! I got goosebumps looking at the pics! Beeyootiful!
thank you so much 😀
OMG- stunning pics Raj – the one with upturned umberallas is my fav one! The sky looks like its galloping!!!
thank you so much 😀 I love the one with umbrellas too 😀
So so beautiful. Australia, especially Sydney, has a special place in my heart for it’s so beautiful and magical. Your pictures just reiterate that 🙂
Thank you so much Naba 🙂 Hope you get to visit Sydney again. And then we can meet up too 🙂
Those are really gorgeous sunsets. You know I live in an area in Bangalore where I suddenly catch stunning sky views. On my evening walks, I often caught some pretty sunsets. It’s amazing, isn’t it!
Oh yes, Bangalore does have it’s own display of orange and purple sunsets 😀 It is amazing indeed.
