Autumn Sunsets

/ Rebecca

This past week, the sunsets were magnificent in the November sky. What a treat to see the beauty that our Creator planned for each new day.

“Art gallery?  Who needs it?  Look up at the swirling silver-lined clouds in the magnificent blue sky or at the silently blazing stars at midnight.  How could indoor art be anymore masterfully created than God’s museum of nature?” ~ Grey Livingston

“The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”  ~Christopher McCandless

“I find it incredibly amazing how at every sunset, the sky is a different shade.  No cloud is ever in the same place.  Each day is a new masterpiece.  A new wonder.  A new memory.”  ~Sanober Khan

“The sunsets are mad orange fools raging in the gloom.” ~Jack Kerouac

It was November – the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines.” ~Lucy Maud Montgomery

“Peering from some high window, at the gold of November sunset and feeling that if day has to become night, this is a beautiful way.” ~E. E. Cummings

“They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy.” ~Psalms 65:8

  7. Beautiful skies Rebecca! And I really liked the collection of quotes which matched each photo. Some skies looked as if they were on fire. My favorite photo was the migrating birds and I always liked L.M. Montgomery, so that quote you picked for that photo is perfect.

    • Thanks, Linda. It was fun to see the geese flying across the beautiful sunset. In some of the photos that I took, the sunset colors were so bright that you could barely even find the geese.

      • I envy you seeing those sunsets Rebecca. I wonder how the geese perceive the very brilliant sunsets as they are traveling through? I am reluctant to go anywhere in the dusk/dark anymore, so I have to see sunsets in the neighborhood.

      • I am fortunate to have a house that faces west and nothing that blocks the view. I’ve noticed that the geese go one direction in the early morning and the other direction right before sundown. I don’t think they pay any attention to the sunset. They seem in a hurry to get to their nighttime resting place.

      • You are lucky to have such a view Rebecca. That’s interesting about the geese … do they sleep on land? I see them early in the morning at parks, all huddled together with a lookout on land. Same with the ducks. The seagulls flock together but in the water, far away from land and predators.

  8. Beauty shots Rebecca! I’m a big sunset fan, not so much with sunrises as I’m too lazy!
    I keep a eye on our sunsets via a beach camera out on Cox beach. You can watch people walking along the beach all the time but when the sunset explodes everybody stops and stares! You can tell how good the sunset is by how many stop and how long they stare!
