Lighting the way
Even after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
You owe me.
Look what happens with
A love like that.
It lights the whole sky.
~ Hafiz of Persia
A luminous heaven, summer perfection, serenity at sunset.
Moments like these take my breath away.

Boahhh, beautiful colors and clouds like wings. Great is the silence !
September 8, 2011 at 19:10
That’s a stunning shot. Fantastic how the colors from the sky blend into the water.
You mentioned on mine that you weren’t aware of being able to remove wires from photographs. I used software that allows me to pick out the color I want to cover the wire with and then blend it in with the color that doesn’t have wires. It’s time consuming the way I do it but I think some people have software that makes it faster than what I have.

I’ve been wondering why it has taken me 40-something years to appreciate a good sunset. What will I appreciate in the next 40 years that I don’t now??
