The Traveler: Linda Van Arsdale of Ham Lake.
The scene: A golden sky silhouettes palm trees along the Mexican shoreline.
The Trip: In December, Van Arsdale and her husband took a Mexican Riviera cruise with Princess Cruises (princess.com). The onboard staff had told the two to be ready for some beautiful sunsets as the ship plied the Pacific Ocean. "We were rewarded with awe-inspiring views of the coast and sky," Van Arsdale wrote in an e-mail.
About the photo: While sailing between Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas, Van Arsdale encountered this view, with a yellow sky offsetting trees. "The timing was perfect for sunsets," she wrote. "I had never seen sunsets with such a golden hue because Minnesota sunsets seem to be more in the pink/red category. This picture showed the silhouettes of palm trees with the beautiful sky behind them."
the equipment: The photographer used her Canon PowerShot SX50 HS on the auto setting to capture the lovely coastline scene.
