there is no more wonderful way
in which to say goodnight to the world
than to share in the silent celebration
that is a sunset
coming to terms

I love experiencing a sunset. They are always different, often dynamic, and always calming.
Very timely - I just finished a short story about a sunset :)
Sunsets remind me of a warm embrace against the cold and a turning away from the light. Thanks, Steven.
Millions of people have the attraction to sunsets, and rightly so. There is a warmth and beauty that only is in a sunset. It is a shout out to all who will listen that there are glorious sights at no charge.
Yes, calming, deep breath, stillness, sundown, into the sea, behind the landscape, can't be seen but is still there, bits of colour linger...just like people- and death, which ,it seems, is not final.
hi annie - there's a special kind of quiet. i love the afterglow the most with its colourful flares and then the gradually fade into pastel softness. steven
rachel perhaps you'll be sharing that somewhere?!! steven
elisabeth i really appreciated the spread of the sun across the sea. i usually see them from my home or at best across fields. the expanse adds something really magical to the experience for me. steven
technobabe - i'm thinking of sunsets i've seen in different locations in different countries under different circumstances. each has a story attached to it. i like your story - free art. steven
linda sue - yep! the sun passes over the horizon spreading the never-ending sunset and sunrise. just like people. steven
mmmm, very true! I have to make an effort to see them these days - a walk up the road to the spectacular views. I don't do it enough... oceans of my youth held amazing sunset gifts.... now I have moonrises.
Hi Steven,
I always wait for the afterglow, and if I have a camera, like you, I try to capture it. I learned from my husband to wait for the clouds to light up, once the sun has gone down.
