Sundown
The summer sun is sinking low;
Only the tree-tops redden and glow:
Only the weathercock on the spire
Of the neighboring church is a flame of fire;
All is in shadow below.
O beautiful, awful summer day,
What hast thou given, what taken away?
Life and death, and love and hate,
Homes made happy or desolate,
Hearts made sad or gay!
On the road of life one milestone more!
In the book of life one leaf turned o'er!
Like a red seal is the setting sun
On the good and the evil men have done,--
Naught can today restore!
[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]

That sun is HUGE!!!
These are beautiful, Rick.
Beautiful sunset, Rick. Ik ben dol op zulke mooie zonsondergangen. The weather here is rainy, grey and dull. Tonight we will get storm again. No winter at all. Have a nice wekend. Greetings, Joke
Beautiful! You must be enjoying warmer weather by now.
Beautiful photos ♥
Wow. That first shot of the sun is pure perfection.
What a spectacular sunset! Lovely shots.
Hoi Rick,
wat een geweldige zonsondergang. Dit is toch echt genieten van pure natuur. Prachtige afbeeldingen heb je hiervan gemaakt en hier kan ik ook echt uren naar kijken en van genieten.
Klasse!
