Sunset


I think this gorgeous sunset is the perfect way to celebrate my 200th post, and a good reminder that you should never forget to look up. I was beavering at the computer one evening when I realised how stunning the sky was. Unfortunately you can't get a great view of the sunset from our house, mainly owing to someone down the road who thinks that 30ft trees are a great idea in a suburban garden. Luckily my dearest chauffeur (otherwise known as mother) did her duty and ferried me to a nearby hilltop, that has rather more spectacular views!

  9. What a lovely maw you have.

    The simple beauty of the sunset should never be understimated.

    No wonder our less informed ancestors believed in God and its like.

  13. Happy 200th post! Great photo! Unaccustomed to ever seeing the sunset on the prairies, I made a point of going down to the beach to watch it once a week while in Vancouver. Except after the first time I trucked myself down I got totally lonely in the most pathetic "woah is me le sigh" sense and then never went back! Now it is raining all the time so I think I may have to wait till Spring before I can see it again. R. Fox
