Sunset over the Caribbean Sea at Santa Marta, Colombia. The sun is a bright yellow sphere just beginning to sink beyond the lightly rippled, slate-blue sea. The waves wash upon a grey beach.

Sunrise at Palomino, Colombia. On the left, mist rises from the Caribbean Sea and flows across the grey sands to the palm-studded jungle on the right. The sky is painted with pale gold, rose and orchid colors.
