Afterglow

Clouds illuminated by the vibrant hues of a setting sun create a dramatic, contrasting sky. The horizon outlines distant hills at dusk.

You can find great prints available here.

Thanks for stopping by!


Poem

The sun has set
Our day is done
Twilight invites
Nighttime, for fun

  1. Isn’t nature such a fantastic artist? So awe inspiring in her ability to create sunsets to die for ,….and I may say, a poem so beautifully written in description, my darling man, …I’m listening to the 🎶music🎶 now, and dancing with you, … Condividere un tramonto con te è meraviglioso, amore mio, …❤️

    1. Yes, there’s so much beauty to be found and appreciated, as the eyes have it, and I second your take on this sunset. It’s always a pleasure to share such moments with you, Il mio tesoro e amore della mia vita… ❤️

      Let’s listen together
      As the music plays on
      Embrace one another
      From twilight ’til dawn
