Reciprocal Nature prompt response: serene sunset.

I’ve watched many sublime sunsets in my life. They never cease to comfort and soothe my uneasiness. The glorious, majestic colors remind me that God is always near and available. That I am not alone in this world.

My most meaningful sunsets are when I am far from civilization. How many times have I sat on the banks of a wilderness lake. My body physically exhausted from a day of paddling and portaging a canoe from lake to lake.

My tent is set up with sleeping bag waiting for me. My stomach’s satisfied. My meal of dehydrated lasagna tasted so good. I cradle a cup of tea in my hands and relax by the calm water. A loon flies overhead, calling for its mate to join him. Fish leap out of the water to capture mayflies for dinner.

The air is warm and still, waiting in expectation. Song birds are silent for dusk has fallen. A bullfrog croaks among the lily pads nearby. Is he calling his brood home for the evening? A young beaver plies the water with an aspen sapling. One last addition to fortify his hut of sticks.

The sun sinks beneath the horizon launching its dying rose, peach, and purple rays aloft. The vibrant palette of glorious hues delights my eye. I am mesmerized with the reverence of the fleeting moment. The words, “How great thou art” come to mind. I am refreshed with the glory of the scene.

I know that all is well in my world. A feeling of peace settles upon me. I am grateful for this beautiful planet that I inhabit. As darkness descends in earnest, I crawl into my sleeping bag blessedly content.

“A sunset is the sun’s fiery kiss to the night.”― Crystal Woods

Author’s photo of sunset on a mountain top.

My other favorite place to watch a sunset is when I am in the mountains.

Perched on a rock outside my tent, I’m reminded to appreciate the simple things in life. All is right with the world. My soul soars. I look forward to the new day and a successful climb.

The setting sun symbolizes peace, harmony, and the promise of renewal.

Sunset colors are more brilliant than sunrise colors. That is because evening air contains more particles to reflect the light.

The sun’s rays contain all the colors of a rainbow. The short wavelengths of blue & green scatter in evening air. That’s why the longer wavelengths of red and orange are dominant in sunsets.

Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of heaven. John Lubbock
