Looking trough the gates of Heaven

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

 

 

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

Hi my friends,

Two days ago we had such a wonderful sunset at the river - and happily I had my camera with me to get these two shots above - I hope you'll enjoy. Sunsets are always magical to me.

 

And yesterday, there was such a wonderful, almost double rainbow against the BLACK sky to the ocean

and you won't believe it,  I had NO camera with me!! :(

Thank you for the kind comment(s) from yesterdays "My Wordless Sunday" post!

Happy Monday everyone!

Light Reflections

Playing with light and a crystal

A crystal or crystalline solid

is a solid material, whose constituent atoms, molecules, or ions are arranged in an orderly repeating pattern extending in all three spatial dimensions. The scientific study of crystals and crystal formation is crystallography. The process of crystal formation via mechanisms of crystal growth is called crystallization or solidification. The word crystal is derived from the ancient Greek word κρύσταλλος (krustallos), which had the same meaning, but according to the ancient understanding of crystal. At root it means anything congealed by freezing, such as ice.^[1] The word once referred particularly to quartz, or "rock crystal".

Most metals encountered in everyday life are polycrystals. Crystals are often symmetrically intergrown to form crystal twins.

Hi my friends,

thanks you so much for all your wonderful congrats to my post about the award I got yesterday. It felt to me like a having a special day, something like Birthday or Christmas or both in once :)) Awards are not falling from the sky every day, it WAS a special day!
And thanks again to Carol for giving it to me.

Today is a beautiful day again in Florida, the temps are in the 70's and now we are heading out to the beach. Hubby need some fresh air to breath - and me too....smile...

I wish you a wonderful day, see you tomorrow.
Susanne

Light Reflections

This is my view every evening from the back side of my yard, overlooking the water and the mangroves.
I enjoy just to sit there, looking out and listen to the birds, watching the last light reflections in the trees and on the water, before the night covers every thing all around in darkness and tranquility.

It is the place I love to be!
