I love the magical light that comes just before the sun falls over the horizon. The light doesn’t linger long enough at the end of day. Maybe that’s why it’s special, scarcity makes it so.
Shadows and Light
On a winter afternoon the shadows and light also means the difference between warm and cold. The last rays of sunlight warm a body, but soon the cold sets in.
Lessons from the Sun
Sunsets are not predictable. Sometimes they are awesome and other times the sun goes down quickly leaving no trace lest dissipating heat. Then there are the times when you think you missed the good one, only to find you are rewarded for waiting an extra few minutes.
The sun’s message; “never give up.”
A Stroll in The Park
The ritual of the sunset is practiced all over the world. I first noticed it on a trip to Key West, where at sun down the west end of Key West comes alive with buskers entertaining the tourists. We all watch the progress of the sun setting, when it was done applause ensued. A well earned applause it was.
Denver has many locations to watch this ritual. The front steps of the Natural History Museum are a popular place. I find I could sit there for most of the day, never moving just watching the show of clouds against the mountains and people strolling by.
