We were on the way out for dinner when the orange-red rays of the setting sun against the azure evening skies momentarily stunned us with one of the most spectacular display I’d seen for a while. I stopped the car several times along the way to capture this beautiful but fleeting moment.
I think it’s in moments like this that so dazzle us that we give pause to our life and momentarily keep us in the here and now. Bathed in luminescence, a door seems to open up to us giving us a glimpse to another reality. A beautiful and peaceful reality. Perhaps a revelation to our true being which is lost perhaps forever in our egos of self importance, cleverness, greed and our meaningless busyness.
I love spectacular sunsets and I always will. It’s moments like this that I joyfully find myself lifted beyond the confines of the mundane and ordinary. Like when I’m on the waters alone - I become whole again. I hope that perhaps you now understand why I love the waters, trees, hills, clouds and skies; for I know where true peace, joy and beauty lies - even though they’re glimpsed only momentarily. I know that it’s always here but rarely witnessed but I’d been blessed with more than my share and which I had shared in my pics here now and on many other previous occasions. Have a beautiful Sunday tomorrow. Be at peace and be well.

Beautiful skies. Dusk is a wonderful time to pause and reflect inspired by the colors of the sunset. If only we can learn to do so no matter what the skies look like.
panda - Yes indeed.
