around 4:45 PM
I was at the beach in Cebu on Wednesday afternoon taking pictures of sea creatures while my friend's kids were picking sea urchins. I was waiting for the sunset until my friend told me that the sunset can be seen from the hill where we walked on earlier on the way to the beach. We retraced our steps and upon reaching the slope, I realized with a tinge of disappointment that we missed the sunset.
We got here around 6:30 PM and the horizon was not as colorful as I expected it to be.
But in a matter of seconds, orange "flames" started to get through the clouds.
In a span of 2 to 3 minutes, the sky turned fiery.
I was mesmerized.
This looks like a ball of fire falling from the sky.
It felt like the sky waited for us to be here at the right moment.
What a spectacle!
Definitely, the greatest show on earth!

I love watching the sunset unfold before our eyes just as you were able to - great series of photos! The fourth one is my favorite - those colors and light are amazing! But the whole collection is fantastic. Thank you for sharing! (And I think the sky DID wait for you before it decided to show off!) :-)
