Just a simple sunset. People all over the world see them all the time. Birds see them, fish see them, mammals see them. Humans see them, all the time. But gosh when one of these simple sunsets is so extraordinary, then we sure love it don’t we?
Here’s a sunset I watched not long ago with some friends of mine. It started off soft and sweet and then got serious!
I took these photos with an old camera, so they’re not as large or as detailed as I would like, but the sky is still every bit as marvelous. Let me know what you see in the clouds, ok? Fish? Birds? Reptiles? Dragons?
In the photo above, I see Abraham Lincoln on the right, leaning over and watching those small dots of clouds. And I see some sort of goofy goozler animal right behind him … watch out Abe!
Beautiful and great imagination! We must be related ❣🎶🦋🌻🌠💕
I think so!!! 🙂
The first two are so peaceful. The perfect end to a day. I think I like the fifth one best.
The last couple look like forest fires to me. Nothing peaceful there! Scary looking!
Marvelous pictures.
I like that 5th one too. I like the birds. And I like that the birds seem to be flying together in a specific direction … maybe it’s time to head home to roost. 🙂
So sweet. And then so dramatic! Indeed, watch out Abe! 🙂
Indeed! 🙂
I see some sort of buffalo animal in the 2nd one..
I’m with Dawn. My first thought in looking at the first picture was there was a whole herd of bison at lower left.
in picture number four I was curious about the leaning tower at lower right (tho not a cloud)
and in the 5th photo (unenlarged) there are 3 notes in the bass clef!
Good eyes, Jan. That leaning tower is a structure that probably has to do with the marine locks between Seattle and Puget Sound, or maybe the railroad bridge that goes over/above the locks. I took these photos from the end of a dock at Stimson Marina just inside the locks in Seattle.
Wow, bass clef notes, sounds dramatic. 🙂
Dawn, I couldn’t figure out if those were mammals or fish. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
Those are lovely! But I don’t see Abe…
I see the side of Abe’s head and upper torso on the right side of the last photo, he’s leaning over and looking down at the 3 or 4 or 5 small clouds in front of him (further to the right). The hair coming off his forehead is kind of wispy. There will be a test later, Kristin. 🙂 Ha!
Those last few photos are stunning! Talk about a wildfire!
I don’t remember ever seeing a wildfire in person, but surely it must be every bit as dramatic as this sunset!
In the second photo, I see three fish on the left all clumped together chasing another fish on the right. Funny what different things we see. 🙂
That’s what I saw when I first looked at that photo too, Marge. I suppose some folks think they can tell a lot about each of us by what we see. I think we’re just having a good time. 🙂
Living in Nebraska, hence my user name :-), I always thought the most stunning sunsets would be in Hawaii or California, out on the Pacific Ocean. But these photos of yours are the MOST stunning sunsets I’ve ever seen. Where were you?
I was in Seattle, about 100 miles from the Pacific Ocean as the crow flies. The sun would have been WAY out over the Pacific Ocean by the time this sunset was seen in Seattle. I wonder if there were other clouds further out over the ocean that I couldn’t see … and they were reflecting the color of the sun … or if there were other atmospheric conditions that created these stunningly wild colors. It’s unusual to get sunsets like this here, but we do get them a number of times throughout the year.
I figured you lived in Nebraska. 🙂 My mom went to college at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln for one year, back in oh about 1930, living with her aunt.
