the Main Stage

A city by the sea with scattered hills and steep beach front cliffs is ideal for breathtaking views. Palm trees thrust upward radiating yellows and greens while blue skies cradle fluffy patches of cloud. The sun is tossed through the sky like a spiraling football, slowly transitioning the foreground icons into solid black silhouettes. The day’s opening act of vibrant color makes way for their nightly slumber as the upcoming show slowly approaches the main stage. As the fiery curtain recedes towards the glowing sea, the flat sky in transformed into an explosion of pink, purple, orange, yellow and red. Trees, light poles and houses, once highlighted with detail and clarity, now bow as marveling spectators. The community eagerly returns from the pulsating translucent lights of their cubicles and enjoys a quick visual display of nature’s generosity before finding the warm arms of their loved ones. Cars reflect the day’s rage with wild red and oranges, but easily find slumber as the sky darkens.

Have you seen a stunning Sunset lately? Where were you? How did it make you feel?

    What’s a sunset? I’ve heard about them.

    Just kidding.

    The pinks/reds/oranges/purples tend to grab one’s eye the most, but the contrasting blue of the ocean like in this picture is pretty rad too.
