The Vigo Estuary is a place where the sun doors are like a work of art, and sometimes they can even surprise you.<\/p>\n

The sun setting over the northern mouth of the Vigo Estuary on a September afternoon<\/a><\/rel>
\nOne of the beautiful and incredible sunsets of the Vigo Estuary recorded in time-lapse<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

On October 12th, we went to Canido beach, in the parish of San Miguel de Oya, in Vigo.<\/strong> The sea was calm, an ideal situation for taking good photos. In this one we see the breakwater of the port of Canido, with its beacon<\/strong> (a place where many people go fishing) and in the background Toralla Island<\/strong>, with its enormous building and the bridge that connects it to Vao beach, a beautiful place on the southern bank of the Vigo Estuary.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

As the sea is calm, the sunlight draws a golden trail on the surface of the water<\/strong>, like a yellow brick road leading to the horizon.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I waited for the sun to disappear<\/strong>, watching that yellow brick road get shorter and shorter little by little.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

At 7:59 pm, the round face of our star began to distort,<\/strong> offering a curious light spectacle. Here we see it to the right of the Canido outer beacon<\/a> (05181), which emits green light, and in the background the Boeiro Islet lighthouse<\/a>, which emits red light (you can see it better by clicking on the photo to enlarge it).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

At 8:00 p.m., the sun offered its last light of the day<\/strong>, a faint golden line, and finally hid behind the horizon.<\/p>\n
