Standing amidst the sand dunes watching the sun slip down the distant horizon is such a beautiful spectacle to behold. Soaking up the changing atmosphere as the colours of the sky and sea alter simultaneously, almost like they are melting into one another, a cooling breeze ruffling through your hair is purely awe-inspiring.
Distant gulls screech and sail through the pink and sepia flushed skies, voicing their last for the day as the light gradually fades, our star appearing to sink into the ocean afar, but rising out of the deep to brighten a new day somewhere on the opposite side of the world.


I wonder who maybe standing there in a strange far off land, as I am standing here now in the moment, marvelling at such a wonder of cosmic perfection and splendour slowly unveiling itself in reverse.
I canβt help but wonder what thoughts pass through their mind, and if they are thinking and feeling the same as I do. A star connecting two minds, as it connects us all.

I don’t get up early, but I can assure you I am probably standing at dusk watching the light fade just as much as you. Sometimes I’ve almost got a tear forming in my eye when I think about the beauty before me and then wonder if anyone else has taken the time to stop and stare.

Beautiful sunsets. And each sunrise and set is as diverse and unique as the landscape, weather and thoughts of those who contemplate them.
