A sunset brings an end to the light of day. There is always time after dark to continue to enjoy before bedtime. I love sunsets. Ordinary ones from my house, some sitting on beaches in faraway places or in crowded cities where glimpses can be seen between buildings. The sky aglow with colour. As we age, sunset often refers to the sunset of our life. Are we colourful? Does anyone stop to view us as beautiful or knowledgeable? A sunset can be romantic. Sitting with someone you love, watching the sun go down can be a memorable time. When you look at the picture, what do you see? Can you hear the water lapping against the shore? Do the clouds indicate rain or is it just overcast? Would you like a ride on the boat in the water? Do you wish you were sitting on a chair watching the sun go down on a summer's night? I know I do.
Why are sunsets so more enjoyable to most people than sunrises? Sunrises mark the beginning of a new and maybe better day. They also signal that it's past time to plug in the kettle and make a delicious cup of coffee (with cream!). Of course, for most, they mark the beginning of another day at work. And, don't forget, there are more mosquitoes active at sunset than sunrise!
