It was the evening of Good Friday. My wife glanced out of the front window and called me to come see the sky - I couldn't see it from where I had been sitting. On instinct I grabbed the camera since I hadn't captured a sunset for some time. I was stopped in my tracks before I got 10 steps out of the front door (1st photo). After taking in the scene I hurried over to the canal across the street (2nd photo).
There was nothing fortuitous about this moment. I'm not a believer in fate or chance or luck but I believe things happen for a reason - even though that may not be revealed now or in our lifetime. But it was easy for us to join the psalmist: "The Heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky proclaims the work of his hands." [Psalm 19:1] If you're inclined, you can make this your prayer today also (click on the link and listen as you look at God's handiwork as captured below):

WOW, these photos are stunning! It's so beautiful to see the sunsets again, even if it's "only" in a photo (by no means minimizing your shots)... it's that ahhhhhh feeling and the song touches my heart, the photos feed my soul.
Great seeing your phenomenal shots Rick. Cheers.
Oi, kuinka kauniit kuvat auringonlaskusta. Kaunis musiikki.

Hallo Rick,
Wat leuk weer een reactie van jou te zien.
Ja, Kinderdijk komt jou bekend voor hé. Het blijft altijd een mooi gezicht al die molens op een rij.
Maar wat heb jij toch weer schitterende foto's, de lucht het blijft altijd fascinerend, schitterend die kleuren. Maar ook je andere foto's. Ik ken dergelijke foto's alleen van vakanties, als ik dit zie zou ik zo willen emigreren!
lieve groetjes, Joke
These are so beautiful Rick. And, I'm with you on things happening for a reason. Sometimes there is so much beauty in the unexpected.

congratulations.
kiss
Merveilleux coucher de soleil! j'adore!
