On my way home from the day job last night I noticed how the sunset started filling the sky with pink. So when I got stuck in a traffic jam due to an accident, evasive maneuvers were required.
I turned off onto a road I rarely travel and came across a great open spot to view the pink clouds.
Drove past. Then I turned around and came back. One must never pass up the opportunity to take pictures of pink clouds.
Monet is one of my favorite artists and these were his kind of clouds. Snapping off several shots, the light quickly faded and dark began to descend.
With the hectic pace of life we all lead, taking the time to appreciate beauty and savor the gorgeous does wonders for our human spirit.
It’s also a nice pause in the middle of a hectic day. I find it helps ground me again when all the pressures of a normal day crowd in.
- Losing the light and the scene becomes more dramatic. The tree top at the bottom right provides some scale to the photo.
The leaves are turning here in Oregon to beautiful yellows and oranges and the golden light of Fall is painting everything with a glow, including pink clouds in the sunset.
Saw a cute sign at a shop this past weekend that said, “Do One Thing Every Day To Make Yourself Happy.” Done.
Now spread some happiness around; it’s a good thing to share. Like pink sunsets!
