FIRE SKY

Softly the evening came.
The sun from the western horizon

Like a magician extended his golden wand o'er the landscape;
Twinkling vapors arose; and sky and water and forest
Seemed all on fire at the touch, and melted and mingled together.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Escambia Bay lit by the setting sun.

  2. I'm terrible: I can't even imagine that it can get so good. I don't think I've ever seen anything like this in person. Beautiful words too. Have a wonderful Sunday!

  3. Carol: Thanks. It was a gorgeous night.

    Ciel: The sunsets here are breathtaking, especially in the winter. Last night I gave up trying to capture the sunset with my camera and just sat and watched.
