The Sunset.
Every Sunday, my blog celebrates the Sunset with photos from my adventures around the world.
along the calm backwaters of the upper Florida Keys..
Sunset, the word alone makes us smile. We are all warmed by a memory; we can all recall a time, a place, a moment. Perhaps, the sunset reminds you of the last time you watched the sun dip on holiday, the time you spent with that someone special or when you completed the quest to witness the ‘green flash.’
The daily descent delights differently, but is universally positive. The sunset remains one of the most celebrated moments of the day and as someone who seeks sunset moments I decided to post a photograph on each and every Sunday to my blog. So welcome to Sunset Sunday.
And in case you ask why? Well for me, the sunset surprises, seduces, and slows.
The sunset surprises….it surprises with beauty each and every time. It is magic. Majestic magenta streaks light the sky, a powerful pinkish hue brightens the clouds, or a golden glaze warms the ocean. All perfect. All beautiful. Always a surprise.
The sunset seduces…..It seduces each of us with the transformation of day to night. The raw romance allows us the ability to inch closer to someone sitting next to us or to step closer to greater universal understanding. We become captivated; we become seduced.
The sunset slows…..it slows down time and more noticeably slows down us. It allows us to pause, to take a deep breath, and to let go of our false sense of control. We disconnect from today’s fast paced world and hold on to a new measurement of time. A tad slower.
