SPLENDOR of ended day, floating and filling me!
Hour prophetic—hour resuming the past!
Inflating my throat—you, divine average!
You, Earth and Life, till the last ray gleams, I sing. (...)
Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Leaves of Grass. 1900. Song at Sunset.
Photos taken by myself.
Another beautiful homage to nature!
ReplyDeleteUtterly Sublime, Sonia....! These pictures capture all the granduer and glory and mystery of a Sunset that is very complex because of ALL that is happening in the sky at that very moment....It Takes My Breath Away....! And the music just brings tears to my etes as I looked at these glorius pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank You, dear Sonia.
Happy Earth Day!
ReplyDeleteThe last shot is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThe great expanse of sky - the sun peaking from behind the cloud and the little tree in perfect silhouette.
Sometimes the world is just too, too beautiful.
