Good night, Surf City. Standing on the boardwalk at the public park there and watching the day drift West, leaving me in the crisp winter air with cold fingers and quiet--was magic. There's nothing like a welcome solitude. Some days I just crave the peace. Most days, in fact. I love when I find it.

I'm trying to make out if there is a line of lights in the middle of the picture. Beautiful scenes reflected make me reflect.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful twilight colors in your sky shot, Sandy. I like the trees reflecting in the water.
ReplyDeleteSandy, that is breathtaking. Gorgeous light and reflections. I find that the older I get, the more I don't just crave solitude but actually need those quiet peaceful moments to survive.
ReplyDeleteWow.. how beautiful. It's a shame this time of day doesn't last just a little bit longer. Then again, it does in a photograph.
