The sun paints the clouds in a beautiful array of yellows, reds, and oranges (orange happens to be the complement to the blue of the sky and sea, which may be why sunsets are so so striking, especially over the ocean). So often in our awe looking into the dappled colours of the sunset we forget to look behind us, to note that indeed we are bathed in colour. Today's sunset wasn't as grand as the many I have enjoyed in my few days here, but my eye caught the clouds behind, and I thought upon how we neglect to see the beauty all around when blinded by the beauty of one. |
