SUNSET: SPLENDOR OF ENDED DAY










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.

  3. The last shot is a beauty!
    The 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.

  6. Absolutely divine photos Sonia. Sunset is a special time of day. That one cloud is stunning with the sun gilding its edges in gold.
    Again how appropriate to quote Whitman's words. What a treat today!
