TODAY'S PHOTO -
a sunset in the neighborhood this past weekend.
We started out the week in Picture to Ponder with puffy, daytime
clouds. I now offer you a beautiful close to it with a neighborhood
sunset photo.
I'm always telling myself that for a really nice sunset photo
I needed to be by a body of water. What I'm finding, now, is that
if I look up when I start seeing pink in the sky, I am able to
capture some great photos without being near water.
One of the interesting things in today's sunset photo is that whatever
happens with the camera and the lighting, technical I'm not, the
foreground becomes almost black. An illusion may thus be created.
For instance, in today's photo what appears to be hills are actually
rooftops.
Several years ago I was in a course for several months and periodically
I "looked for my passion." Never found it. Driving to
a closing party for the course, we
passed a small boat, with a sail, in a causeway bathed with the
pink of the then, just-set sun. We stopped, of course, and the
camera came out.
The blue and pink sky, the reflections in the water, THIS was my
PASSION. I went into the party with tears in my eyes, getting down
on my knees to declare it. This was very atypical behavior for me.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
Look around you during these next few days, outside of yourself,
at the spaces around you and through which you may travel. What
can you claim that evokes your passion?
Have a beautiful weekend.
