Tonight on the way home, I was thinking how much I love the longer days and wondered if I’d see a sunset. The view as I reach the top of the steep road home is often noteworthy. The paved road ends and the majority of the last two miles is downhill. Today I pulled over to take these photos. Unfiltered, you can see the snow on the peaks in the distance as the sun illuminates the clouds. Perfect timing.
Sunset has a surreal glow.
I’m forever seeing shapes in the clouds.
Most days I look up to admire clouds, find interesting shapes, and enjoy sunrise and sunset.
These photos were taken from the window of the plane. The first one looks like a bear climbing out of the water (clouds) and the others were just ones I found interesting.
The second and last pictures are of the sun from different angles and points of sunset.
Eyes flicker open
Will the morning colors be putting on a show?
All day I glance skyward
at the wisps
at the billowing puffs
at the myriad of shapes
always putting on a show.
Setting my imagination free.
And then, evening colors.
Will they bring another dazzling display?
As the weekend winds down, those of us who want to squeeze the last drops of fun from it enjoy the sunset as we look for moose. Tonight there were none, but the magnificent sky, wildflowers, and a lone duck in the lake were enough.
Capturing sunset
on a steamy summer night
home before darkness
Stopping for sunset
snow covered distant peaks glow
fleeting views captured.
This is a “throwback” from three years ago as it came up in my Facebook memories. There is beauty everywhere you look in Lucerne. But the magical moments as the sun sets reflecting on the water is otherworldly. Combined with the leafless trees and the purple gardens, this is a sunset I will always remember.
