as the sun sets
i caught a glimpse of red + orange through the trees while taking atlas out for his night-time potty run. though i was pajama-clad – preparing to write about something else entirely – i ran back inside for my camera and drove the three miles to the lake.
lake superior was eggplant in color; waves crashed on the rocky shore; and a streak of color delineated the horizon.
i watched in silent wonderment.
so, with love, i offer this – my view of the unfolding of the night.
No wonder people thought the world was flat.
Your photos are so wonderful! I just love the blues and oranges in these pictures today, thanks for sharing
xo
Leigh: Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed them.
Jerry: It does look flat, doesn’t it!
Amazeballs! Nice work.
Thanks! You should have seen how many photos I took, just to get a few with the horizon straight. I still think my head is on crooked! ;-p
Perhaps it was the horizon that was slanted.
My horizon is always crooked, so it’s either the horizon or me. I like thinking that it’s the horizon!
We all live in our own reality. I think I will go with the crooked horizon also..
Thank you for this gift, Elizabeth! I love sky gifts… the sky looks a little different where we are all scattered. :o) ((HUGS))
Sky gifts! What a beautiful way to put it.
Oh my! I would give a lot to see such a sight this summer.
