More Than Just a Pretty Picture

More than just a pretty picture ….by Jim Adams

Clouds are highlighted on the horizon, reflecting the last rays of the sun’s waning light back toward the ground, creating a vivid sky with colors melting as the evening settles in.  Warm yellows, bright reds, burning oranges, are all parts of the setting that attract our eyes and soothe our spirit while generating a calm serene tranquility.  At sunset, the sun is low on the horizon, and the rays of sunlight pass through more air in the atmosphere than they do when the sun is higher in the sky.  Thus, when sunlight passes through more atmosphere, this longer path can be 10 times greater through the atmosphere, so it has many more particles in it that will scatter the light.  Sunlight is composed of all the colors of the rainbow and at sunset, sunlight has travelled through a much thicker amount of atmosphere, causing the blue light that we see…

SERENE SUN

Feel free to use either the image or the words as your muse for the week.

Fiery hot sun —burns

I cannot look at it

For more than a few seconds

There is a fire raging there

It’s flares extend far and wide

Yet…..

I feel reassurance and serenity

In its raging, burning hot flames

Till the sun burns bright, we’ll live

So at dawn and dusk when it makes

It’s presence know by its light and heat

I inhale a deep breath of gratitude

We will survive another day…….
