Skywatch Friday

End of Day

Recently I have not had the time to go out and photograph sunrises or sunsets.  They used to be pretty easy for me to capture on my way to and from work.  Now that I am retired, I have to really make an effort to be in the right place at the right time.  The result has been that I have spent some time searching my archives for images from the past.  The journey reminds me why I like this hobby of photography.  You can capture a moment in time (actually 1/125 second) and enjoy it for decades.  This image is from December 29, 2009.  I was on my way home from work and it became apparent that there was going to be a great sunset, so I went to one of my favorite photo spots and waited.  I was not disappointed.  Have a blessed week-end.

Skywatch Friday Thoughts & More

I don't know which I like best, sunrise or sunset.  Sunrise promises a new beginning.  A new day has dawned and there is the opportunity to complete what didn't get finished yesterday, or to start fresh on a new project.  Sunset brings a quiet calm to the end of the day, and if the work got done, there is a sense of peace and the anticipation of the next sunrise.  At the end of the day, all of us would like to look back and say, "Well done."  Have a blessed week-end.
