When I was done taking photos and heading home today, I came to the intersection of Browning Road and Route 4. I was stunned by the sunset panorama before me.
I quickly fired up my camera and took a three exposure set, with the intent to combine them into a High Dynamic Range photo later. After I turned onto Route 4, the scene just kept pulling at me. I wanted to screech to a halt by the side of the road to take more photos and enjoy the sunset. I didn’t.
I rolled down the window, and carefully stuck my camera into the sunset and squeezed off three more shots while traveling 55 miles per hour. My good fortune held, and the camera survived my daredevil exploit.
I kept looking for angles to stop and take more photos, but ultimately gave up. I saw a lovely shot which could have been taken from the parking lot of a church near my home, but the traffic was heavy at that point, and I decided to note that this would be a good spot for another day and play it safe.
I arrived home, and quickly opened the views. This one grabs me the most.
Sunsets remind me of my small part of the universe. The beauty reminds me of how much I am given each day. The fleeting nature of a sunset’s beauty, remind me of how quickly time passes.
I need to enjoy each morsel of life which comes my way.
