I could not resist a brief entry to highlight this snap taken yesterday before the sun finally set on the Pennines. It seemed quite fitting in these dreadful times of global pandemic that we try to keep a sense of perspective. A beautiful sight and a reminder that .......every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, philosopher and poet
Let us all hope that the new dawn is not too long off. The gorgeous sky is simply a product of the sun being low on the horizon, meaning sunlight passes through more air than during the day, when the sun is higher in the sky. More atmosphere for the light to pass through, means more molecules to scatter the violet and blue light away from your eyes.This is why sunsets are often yellow, orange, and red.
A moment to enjoy but also to look forward with some positivity and to appreciate that nature is transient and, no matter what, seasons like pandemics will all pass with time.
Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.
Richard Paul Evans' US author
