Sunset Cape Hedge #2

Figure 1 – Sunset Cape Hedge Beach Rockport, MA November 28, 2021

Sunsets and sunrises are an amazing sequence of shades and hues. We sat and watched for a long time after the sunset that I posted yesterday just watching the evolving shades of red, orange, magenta and cyan. And, of course, we were each caught up in our own thoughts, remembering. Figure 2 shows one of these images.

I think that one can sense the northern nature of the scene, the nip in the air and the earliness of the fading light. We all eagerly await the edging of the sunset minute by minute to later times. But still when you sit there and immerse yourself in the color and the moment, you come to realize that there is no place that you would rather be.

“She was in that place in your soul where friends go who die but you still love them and talk to them and think of them.”
― Cathy Lamb, No Place I’d Rather Be
