I walk into the nearby dunes this late-summer evening to enjoy the sunset. I love having this area all to myself; most of the visitors on the island have left, and even in the height of the tourist season, they hardly ever show up in these dunes. It's quiet, and I notice that there aren't many animals; the drought has driven the Shetland and Exmoor ponies and the Scottish Highland cattle to the few remaining lakes that still contain freshwater. But then I spot a deer; they get more active around sunset. It briefly stops upon spotting me before it runs away. A few more catch a glimpse of me from some bushes, but they are too far to film or photograph.
Alex, as you expressed so beautifully, the spectacular colors of the sky are a stark contrast to the brown dry colors of the earth. What a lovely peaceful walk to conclude your day!
I think doing a Raindance is on order here. Never thought much about the Natives doing Rain dances, but now it's giving new and more meaning. I love your sunset video. It's fun to see how you timed it (-: me 💃 doing a 🌧 dance . . . !!
I was just reading the news (online) about the mess here in the States, the flooding in Pakistan, the war In Ukraine, etc. Then I came here to see what you have been up to. Thank you. It’s like a wave washed over me, taking away the pain & worry, only leaving goodness, hope, & joy in the world around us behind. Enjoy these last days of summer.
Beautiful writing, almost lyrical in description, and incredible images of breathtaking sunsets.
Your words do them justice.
Thank you for preserving these lovely sunsets of late summer. We can all hold onto them in those long winter months like a faraway dream.
Looks like a pretty perfect sunset to me. Well captured! Thanks for sharing.
