Qeba #2: Cloudy Dusk

So I loved shooting at Qeba so much (Quonnies East Beach in Charlestown) that I returned for a second day in a row to catch another sunset! Everything was just perfect, once again.

But the day got away and before I knew it the sun was sinking lower in the sky. I was on my way home but luckily I still had my camera with me, so with one eye on the road and the other eye on the setting sun, I headed...
