Sunsets

I don't know what you could say about a day in which you have seen four beautiful sunsets.

 ~ John Glenn

Four sunsets in one day would indeed be amazing. John Glenn and other astronauts certainly had unique perspectives of our world. At best, I can only photograph one sunset per day, though sometimes I can capture it in various ways. Most of the images below were from different day. There might be a bit of overlap here and there. I hope you enjoy them.




Softly the evening came with the sunset. The sun from the western horizon Like a magician extended his golden want o'er the landscape; Trinkling vapors arose; and sky and water and forest Seemed all on fire at the touch, and melted and mingled together. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow






Bursts of gold on lavender melting into saffron. It's the time of day when the sky looks like it has been spray-painted by a graffiti artist. ~ Mia Kirshner






If I could lick the sunset, I’ll bet it would taste like Neapolitan ice cream.  ~ Jarod Kintz






Beautiful sunsets need Cloudy Skies. ~ Paulo Coelho







The sunset faded and blended from pink to peach to mango in a smoothie in the sky. ~ Jarod Kintz







Never waste any amount of time doing anything important when there is a sunset outside that you should be sitting under! ~ C. JoyBell C.






It is almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream. ~ Bern Williams






After a day of cloud and wind and rain Sometimes the setting sun breaks out again, And touching all the darksome woods with light, Smiles on the fields until they laugh and sing, Then like a ruby from the horizon's ring, Drops down into the night.  ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow






A large drop of sun lingered on the horizon and then dripped over and was gone, and the sky was brilliant over the spot where it had gone, and a torn cloud, like a bloody rag, hung over the spot of its going. And dusk crept over the sky from the eastern horizon, and darkness crept over the land from the east.” ~ John Steinbeck






Today I saw a red and yellow sunset and thought, how insignificant I am! Of course, I thought that yesterday too, and it rained.  ~ Woody Allen






Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears.
~ Sheldon Harnick






All architecture is great architecture after sunset; perhaps architecture is really a nocturnal art, like the art of fireworks. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton

Sorry - still no POTW, this week. There's not been enough time for visits which result in my not collecting posts to share. When time permits, I'll have the POTW back up and running. Until then I'll only have photos to share. Thanks for your understanding.  More photos in a few days.
