Sunset Colors Speak What Can’t Be Heard

Watching the sun set at Duck Harbor Beach Cape Cod Massachusetts

Who doesn’t love a sunset?

What a perfect time to unwind and enjoy the show.

We just made it to the beach as the sun was sinking.

A beam of light was shining off of the calm ocean. The green dune grass blowing softly in the gentle breeze. The sand warm. The loudest sound being the buzzing of those pesky mosquitos. Long sleeve shirts and a couple sprays of DEET and we should be fine.

Calling out to the setting orb, gulls float in the choppy waters.

Waves gently lap the sand and pebbles.

Clouds light up and speak to us in music beyond our comprehension.

People and a couple dogs gather at land’s end in silence and wonder.

A symphony of colors rise as the glorious sun sets below the horizon.
