My photo:
21_02_2007I have no fancy, powerful camera, although I yearn and look forward to the day of owning something a little more modern, even maybe a SLR ... Oh ... LOL .... This picture was taken 1. with a canon powershot A75 camera (3.2 megapixel) and 2. on one beautiful even while my adoring and doting husband and I sat outside the front of our home marvelling in what a beautiful evening it was, so calm, so still, so peaceful, as if by chance a magic veil was drawn around our home (and interestingly enough I was 12dpo and pregnant with our third child, Jaxon Levi, although at this point in time, I was completely unbeknowns that he was snuggled in my maternal uterus ready to make a grand entrance later in the year.) Perhaps this is why I was drawn to such a romantic landscape this particular evening, who knows?
There is something quite calming and soothing enjoying the calm and stillness of your home when your children are all tucked in for the night. The evening dancing upon our fingertips. This particular evening, looking westbound as the sun started to slowly subside into the sky, initiating that night is drawing upon us and that the playful antics of the day had drawn to a close.
Who could resist seeing if your simple lens could capture the beauty and magic that dusk prevails on all. I'm quite for one to sit outside and just become lost as the sun slowly sinks to the west, it calms me, soothes me and re-energises my soul from quite often what is a very fast paced and busy day.
For those that read this entry, I would love to see what's in your photo album in this particular area, blog it and let me know so I can come and see!
A Sunset by Victor HugoI love the evenings, passionless and fair, I love the evens,
Whether old manor-fronts their ray with golden fulgence leavens,
In numerous leafage bosomed close;
Whether the mist in reefs of fire extend its reaches sheer,
Or a hundred sunbeams splinter in an azure atmosphere
On cloudy archipelagos.
Oh, gaze ye on the firmament! a hundred clouds in motion,
Up-piled in the immense sublime beneath the winds' commotion,
Their unimagined shapes accord:
Under their waves at intervals flame a pale levin through,
As if some giant of the air amid the vapors drew
A sudden elemental sword.
The sun at bay with splendid thrusts still keeps the sullen fold;
And momently at distance sets, as a cupola of gold,
The thatched roof of a cot a-glance;
Or on the blurred horizon joins his battle with the haze;
Or pools the blooming fields about with inter-isolate blaze,
Great moveless meres of radiance.
Then mark you how there hangs athwart the firmament's swept track,
Yonder a mighty crocodile with vast irradiant back,
A triple row of pointed teeth?
Under its burnished belly slips a ray of eventide,
The flickerings of a hundred glowing clouds in tenebrous side
With scales of golden mail ensheathe.
Then mounts a palace, then the air vibrates--the vision flees.
Confounded to its base, the fearful cloudy edifice
Ruins immense in mounded wrack;
Afar the fragments strew the sky, and each envermeiled cone
Hangeth, peak downward, overhead, like mountains overthrown
When the earthquake heaves its hugy back.
These vapors, with their leaden, golden, iron, bronzèd glows,
Where the hurricane, the waterspout, thunder, and hell repose,
Muttering hoarse dreams of destined harms,--
'Tis God who hangs their multitude amid the skiey deep,
As a warrior that suspendeth from the roof-tree of his keep
His dreadful and resounding arms!
All vanishes! The Sun, from topmost heaven precipitated,
Like a globe of iron which is tossed back fiery red
Into the furnace stirred to fume,
Shocking the cloudy surges, plashed from its impetuous ire,
Even to the zenith spattereth in a flecking scud of fire
The vaporous and inflamèd spaume.
O contemplate the heavens! Whenas the vein-drawn day dies pale,
In every season, every place, gaze through their every veil?
With love that has not speech for need!
Beneath their solemn beauty is a mystery infinite:
If winter hue them like a pall, or if the summer night
Fantasy them starre brede.
