Sunset with water reflection in the Baltic resort of Warnemünde

by Silva Wischeropp

I discovered this breathtaking, maritime and relaxing landscape shot on 7 August 2009 in the late summer evening hours, directly at the enchanting, romantic sunset on the Baltic Sea beach of Warnemünde.
The photo was taken with a NIKON D90 camera (lens: SIGMA 18.0-50.0 mm f/2.8).

The last glow of the fireball in the summer evening sky spreads a warm and confident mood. The last rays of the sun touch the surface of the sea and conjure up a magical glow. This creates an enchanting, unique and energising atmosphere.
The sea water laps gently and glows on the surface as it reflects the last rays of the sun. The fiery red to orange glowing cloud sky looks magical and captivates the observer. The image has a meditative, energising effect. Man in inner harmony with Mother Nature.

Warnemünde is the best known of the four seaside resorts. The former fishing village and "captain's quarter" of Warnemünde has become a sought-after hotspot for beach holidaymakers, cruise passengers, water sports enthusiasts and thalasso users.
As you stroll through the charming alleys, take a peek into the windows of the lovingly maintained captains' houses. And Warnemünde has much more to offer: fresh Baltic Sea fish, majestic cruise ships and Warnemünde beach, the crowning glory of every holiday. The 14 km long and widest sandy beach on the German Baltic Sea coast scores highly with its size, visual appeal and lively promenade.
One of Rostock's sunniest sides is undoubtedly its 15 kilometres of Baltic Sea beach. Up to 200 metres wide and mostly flat, the beaches of the Hanseatic city stretch from Warnemünde to Diedrichshagen and from Hohe Düne to Markgrafenheide.

And with the priceless view of the Baltic Sea and the gentle sound of the waves in your ears, you can relax and unwind wonderfully.
