rainbows and sunsets

Kylie over at eclectrica writes about her stalker rainbows, how she felt they were there for her personal enjoyment. I feel the same about my sunsets. Every one of them unique, every one of them beautiful. Every one of them there just for me.

There's something about the awesome power of creation to blow our minds that... um... blows my mind. When I see the ugly sides of the human condition I often notice the vastness, complexity and beauty of the world around me and it never ceases to amaze me.

gratuitous sunsets II

It’s been a while since I’ve had a gratuitous sunset shot from my back yard. I like this one – it seemed alive the way it kept changing colour and shape. The most frustrating thing is that it became even more glorious, with huge beams of molten gold shooting high above the horizon – by that time I’d put the camera away – so you’ll have to take my word for it.

A gratuitous shot of a sunset from the back of the house... because I like them and because I can.
