i feel like i could just sit and look and watch that unfold for the rest of the day.

i feel strength..the power of spirit and things that are larger than us...which make our problems and life seem so trivial and small.

this picture make me feel like i can move on.

sleepy.

The picture....it is great photography but sunsets always bore me. Maybe it's a product of having grown up in the Florida Keys but sunsets are no big deal to me and I don't particularly appreciate them.

I feel like there is hope that my son will see all the beauty the world has to offer....not just Detroit

Smooches;)

I think everyone, everywhere, sees sunsets, hun...lol

And living on the east coast, wouldn't you be seeing more sunrises over the water than sunsets??...

Byron said:

lol
Of course I mean supposedly "fantastic" sunsets on the water aren't really impressive to me.

The Keys, especially the lower ones, tend to be fairly small islands (Big Pine Key, the one I grew up on, is the second-largest lower Key at 8 miles long and 2 miles wide) so you could easily see the sunset every evening. There's even a legend in Key West that if you look hard enough you can see a green flash at sunset sometimes.

I think the main thing about sunsets is that they seem like a touristy thing to like... and I always hated tourists. While they're often the livelihood of places they go, they also tend to pollute and cause other problems. And be generally stupid and obnoxious.
Not that any of you would be that way.

P.S. I want to emphasize the fact that I don't mean to disparage your work. I think it's is a great photograph... I especially love the palm fronds framing the sunset. Very nice work

...That cracked me up...lol

And don't worry, I didn't take that photo (though I wish I had... )...and your answer of it making you think of trashy, obnoxious tourists is every bit as valid a response as everyone else's...it's all about the thoughts and emotions that surface instantly..

I feel in awe of the beauty that nature is, something so gorgeous and NOT man made.

Lucid, peaceful, hopeful, hungry for mashed potatoes.

That should be an album cover.

I could have made it the cover for the CD mix I mailed out..lol

Byron said:

I wondered.

subhuman09 said:

My CDs don't have any artwork on them...lol...That BETTER not count against me.

relaxed, at peace

Milty said:

Thanks...I didn't take it, tho... Just found it on Google awhile back, and it jumped out at me, caused all sorts of thoughts/feelings instantly...

Where are the mermaids?

Chico1 said:

nope, nevermind, i'll stay on land


but, its beautiful, thanks for sharing

I love it...both photos

perfect setting for a Pisces to play, relax,and escape the rigors of the cruel cold world...thanks Byron and Milty.

Milty said:

mmm this is beautiful also... when we visit the ocean we always get up to see the sunrise ( if on sunrise side ) and or always watch the sunset ...

eace day is such a blessing and to me there is NO better way to feel honored by that gift then a sunset or rise ...

speaking of sunrise...the sun just came up here and the sky was blood red ...stunning

maybe SNOW is comming

And it doesn't have to be over water...

Took this in the parking lot of the grocery store:




And took this from the sports field of the junior highschool next to my apartment complex:

Byron said:

WOAH! Beauty is everywhere...isn't it?

applekisses said:

I think there is beauty is most things....ya just gotta look a little harder for it in some.

Byron said:

It's all about the music.

That and the large cash bribes.

subhuman09 said:
