TODAY'S PHOTO -
a sunset in the neighborhood this past weekend.
We started out the week in Picture to Ponder with
puffy, daytime clouds. I now offer you a beautiful
close with a neighborhood sunset photo.
I'm always telling myself that for a really nice sunset
photo I needed to be by a body of water. What I'm
finding is that if I look up when I start seeing pink
in the sky, I am able to capture some great photos
without being by water.
One of the interesting things in today's sunset photo
is that whatever happens with the camera and the lighting,
technical I'm not, the foreground becomes almost black.
An illusion may thus be created. For instance, in
today's photo what appears to be hills are actually
rooftops.
Several years ago I was in a course for several months
and periodically I "looked for my passion."
Never found it. Driving to a closing party
for the course, we passed a small boat, with a sail,
in a causeway bathed with the pink of the then, just-set
sun. We stopped, or course, and the camera came out.
The blue and pink sky, the reflections in the water,
THIS was my PASSION. I went into the party with tears
in my eyes, getting down on my knees to declare it.
This was very atypical behavior for me.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES
-
Look around you during these next few days, outside
of yourself, at the spaces around you and through
which you may travel. What can you claim that evokes
your passion?
Have a beautiful weekend.
