The Sunset Challenge
1Current Challenge: Take a photo of tonight’s sunset and post it.
WHAT’S GOING ON HERE??
The basics: We’re doing a little April Fools’ Day game, asking our users to complete a series of ridiculous, stupid, and fun (we hope) photography/writing/drawing tasks throughout the day.
But why: Because April Fools’ Day has grown tiresome. Sure, maybe we laughed the first few years that corporations took on the challenge of lying to their customers. But then, we got to the point where Continental was tweeting about their new airliner constructed entirely from bacon or whatever and it got a little old. We want to celebrate April Fools’ Day in a fun way.
Okay, but why on March 31st: Because you’re more likely to be tethered to your computer on a Friday than a Saturday.
Will there be winners: Yes! The winner will be whoever gets the most votes on their entry!
Will there be prizes: Yes! The pride of knowing you had some fun on the internet!
So, there won’t be prizes: Correct. Anyway, we hope you enjoy yourself.

Well not quite the sunset, but special just the same. And yes I took it about 20 min ago
@tinamarie1974 Wow!

@tinamarie1974

Sorry @OldCatLady. Big sigh
@OldCatLady @tinamarie1974 I guess this is the only kind they’ll accept now:

no sunset for me tonight
@Kidsandliz [sigh], same here. Too cold and dreary for a gorgeous sunset.
Too late to take one here. How about one I took a week and a half ago on my trip to Alpe d’Huez, France?
@cinoclav Making us all jealous…
@cinoclav sigh…
@Kyeh I’m making myself jealous. I want to go back.
@cinoclav Why did you go, and why did you leave?
@cinoclav @OldCatLady
Ski trip??
@OldCatLady @chienfou Combination ski trip and the Tomorrowland Winter edm music festival. Here’s just one of the performers. I’m somewhere in that crowd.
@cinoclav @OldCatLady
Sounds fun. Bon voyage!
@chienfou @OldCatLady More like welcome home. Got back on the 26th. But it was a hell of a good time!
@cinoclav @OldCatLady
Awesome.
HopeI’m sure you had a grand time.I lived in Sallanches in the late 70’s and learned to ski in the Megeve/Mont Blanc area 50ish miles from where you were. Came back to the states and lived (and skied) in central CO (Summit County area mostly). Been off skies for about 25 yrs now since the kids are grown and wife isn’t a fan of the cold or the sport. After Achilles tendon surgery I think my schussing days are over. I do miss it though!
FOOLS! TOOLS! JEWELS! AWESOME!
I’m having trouble posting mine.
@littlebird if on a phone turn is sideways, then you can see the landscape picture. Click on that then you can upload it.
Just a lot of rain, here. I’m sure there’s a sunset somewhere behind it.
@mossygreen Same problem where i live. Rain hasn’t started yet but sky looks very ready.
Not too spectacular, but I did see the sun.
It got a little prettier in a different part of the sky:
I missed mine, rainy skies anyway.
/Showme a photo of a spectacular sunset
missed the sunset
@Creefast22
Beautiful, where are you at?
@Star2236 The is in Person County North Carolina. Beautiful sunrises many days throughout the year.
@Creefast22
I haven’t seen reds like that in my area in a long time.
Cloudy, dreary evening here tonight. I took this one last week.
@cutiecupid15 was that today?
Today was just all rain but this one I particularly liked was last July.
No sun today, thunderstorms all day but lightning so bright it will make you jump.
Here’s a moon shot from a while back
