I took it from the Monte d'Oro (Golden Mountain) hill in the municipality of Muggia, located in the province of Trieste. Here we can see the gulf of Trieste and a part of the large port. The ship in the fg. is an oil-tanker under unloading operation of the liquid minerals in the SIOT pipeline, while the others are waiting for a free dock. The thin line in the middle of the frame, I suppose to be the wave-breaker, used to protect the harbour to avoid problems during the delicate operations.
The international Free Port of Trieste was founded in 1719 and is now a modern functional facility. It is the only port on the Adriatic with a natural sea depth, able to accommodate the biggest vessels, it is located at the centre of the new Europe.
Situated at the northernmost point of the Adriatic Sea, the port of Trieste can cater for all the operational needs of sea, road and rail transports.
The Free Port of Trieste is subdivided into 5 different Free Areas, 3 of which have been allotted to commercial activities:
- the Old Free Area,
- the New Free Area,
- the Timber Terminal.
The remaining two, the Mineral Oils Free Area and the “Canale di Zaule” Free Area, are used for industrial activities.
Here is a funny interacive map of the port, on which is easy to understand the location of the present vessel.
I stayed at this pov for more than two hours and took hundreds of shots, because was amazed by the continuously changing of the light and colors.
This is the first of the series I'm going to upload, the other 523 I'm planning to post in the next ten years (:D.
Apart a bit of highlightening, no pp work was done!

Hello Attila,
Amazing that you got this red sunset without a filter. I like that this is not the usual sort of "dry and dull" sunset photo that we often see. There is quite a bit of activity and a rich foreground under the sun. Terrific composition in that sense. Regards,
Hakan

Zdravo Attila. A great shot for a commercial for a paint company. The red looks as if it has come unadulterated from a paint can. Pure colour, pure wonder. Great work to capture so strongly something so wondrous.Regards. Klaudio.

Szia Attila!
Hoppá! Ezt a látványt gyönyörűen elkaptad, az impresszionista festők a romantikusokkal egyetemben sárgulhatnak az irigységtől. Igazából már nézem néhány perce a képet, de még mindig nem tudom eldönteni, melyik erőteljesebb: az esztétikája vagy a baljóslatú hangulata. Azaz, nem tudom, hogy gyönyörködjek vagy inkább megrémüljek fotód láttán, de az biztos, hogy elképesztően látványos és hatásos. A kép mélysége fantasztikus, a sziluettek úgy simulnak a vérvörös tengerbe, mintha vésővel faragták volna éleiket, igazán pompás látvány.
Gratulálok és szép képeket!
Gyuri
Ui: A következő célállomás Eger lesz, szeretnék egy szép sorozatot felpakolni gyönyörű városunkról, aztán augusztusban a Dodekániszosz szigeteire megyünk feleségemmel, Rodoszra, Symire, Chalkira és Karphatoszra, már alig várom. Gondolom Te sem fogsz tétlenkedni, nem úgy szokott lenni… : )

It's bloody good! I like the two long reflections of the sun on the water.
The POV is amazing, I can imagine you've stayed there from quite some time..damn all the red..well saturated..how did it get there? Good sharpness, detail and composition with a bit of foreground.

Uh!!!
Incredibile. Nei 42 anni che ho vissuto a Trieste non ho mai visto una cosa simile! Tramonti bellissimi tanti, ma cosě mai! Forse che sono cose che succedono dalle parti di Muggia!!
Ma non c'č solo il colore: c'č la linea data dalla diga, e poi due petroliere e poi la petroliera vicino.
Mi riservo di visitare il sito del porto con calma. Ora vado a verona e torno domani.
Ciao!

Hi Attila,
Wow! What impressive red color in this sunset, has a strong impact at sight, and really it seems to be bloody, as you say in the title.
Excellent contrast between the color and the silhouettes in this image, I like the Sun in the sky and its sheens and reflections in the sea.
Great photo, my friend.

Hi Attila
I like sunset and this one is very special with its yellow sun half hidden behind the clouds contrasting well with the red tones. At first, I thought it was two pictures because of the black line almost separating the photo in two. Reflections are also gorgeous and I'm adding this post in my theme 'more fav.pictures1'
Cheers

Szia Attila,
Sunsets are such a must practised exercize that we do find them boring unless they have something special, in the case of yours it's this vibrant red color, and the glow on all the scene allows to detach very well the various silhouettes in the frame.
Have a nice day,
JEan-Yves

Hello Attila,
A first rate panoramic capture of the Monte d'Oro. Indeed, it is so much better to provide the expansive horizontal view here. The subdued light, with the sun still painting pastoral colors in the clouds makes this a memorable shot.A well managed shot with the two silhouettes of the two ships to add something different in your capture.Very informative your note.Well done.
Have a nice weekend,Danos

Hello Attila, of the image like that one you little in poster for 10 years without problem, your opportunism and your patience is well to reward, I never saw one degrading of red also blazing and with the aspect as natural as this one, it is a marvellous place and a photograph which is not it less, good framing the light as well as the reflection one it air more beautiful than the real world, I like also the co-education managed well in the temperature of the colors for a saturation which I appreciate, the luminous spoke which splits the surface of water and symmetry that it causes is extremely aesthetic, technically, with the last image of a dream right before awakes, it is true that the interactive chart of the port is amusing, this photograph is worth largely more than 2 point with mine that will make 100 but much will arrive share the continuation, sincerely.....................Hello Attila, des image comme celle-la tu peu en poster pour 10 ans sans problčme, ton opportunisme et ta patience sont bien récompenser, je n’ai jamais vu un dégrader de rouge aussi flamboyant et ŕ l’aspect aussi naturel que celui-ci, c’est un endroit merveilleux et une photo qui ne l’est pas moins, bon cadrage la lumičre ainsi que le reflet on l’air plus beau que le monde réel, j’aime aussi la mixité bien gérée dans la température des couleurs pour une saturation que j’apprécie, le rai lumineux qui fend la surface de l’eau et la symétrie qu’il provoque est fort esthétique, techniquement, artistiquement parfait, cela me fait un peu penser ŕ la derničre image d’un ręve juste avant le réveille, c’est vrai que la carte interactive du port est amusante, cette photo vaut largement plus que 2 point avec les miens cela fera 100 mais beaucoup vont arriver part la suite, bien amicalement

Gyönyörűek a színek és a sziluettek!
A tenger hihetetlenül nyugodt és sima.
Semmi hullám,fodrozódás, vagy vmi törés,olyan mintha jég borítaná, de a befagyott vízhez először még vörös festéket öntöttek volna.

Hello Attila
It is the setting sun so as to be slightly scary according to the title which you attached though contrast of the red&black is beautiful fantastically.
I keenly realize it when I watch such a photograph when the world of the camera is the splendid world showing the world different from the world that I see from human eyes:))
