Ah, there is that sunset again. And this time it's igniting those beautiful clouds in the foreground.
Trace back those rays, and perhaps you can see the cauldron of creation itself.
Squint your eyes in the brightness, and see the cloud tips being dabbed with light, and ripples being painted upon the lake.
Is there anything to do but smile? Surely such a scene will lift any spirit:
Sometimes I go about pitying myself
And all the while
I am being carried across the sky
By beautiful clouds.
-- Ojibway Indian Poem

Wonderful picture...Day ends and night begins...both are there, yet neither are there...they combine to form a highlighted calmness.
Let it carry our pities away...8)
