After taking this photo and watching the sun go down I wrote this: / / Wilsons Promontory Not a worry in the world, it was so peaceful, so quiet and so beautiful. There wasn’t a single word to describe this place. I sat on the top of the sand dunes, sifting the sand through the tips of my fingers, it wasn’t just ordinary sand, it was soft like powder; and white like it had never been touched. I felt at peace, there was nothing that could ruin this feeling. I looked out to the horizon; to the left was a headland, with no form of civilization on it and then a bit to the right laid two small islands. In between the headland and the first island was the sun, it beamed at me with so much power, it made my eyes squint and water, but after a minute of staring at it, my eyes soon adjusted. It felt like nothing else mattered, it was just me and the sun. I looked around the bay, and I couldn’t think of one thing wrong with this place, there were no houses, no signs of civilization. I jumped down from the sand dunes and walked towards the water, I kept walking through the water, following the reflection of the sun against the waves and water. I stopped when I was knee deep and felt my feet sink into the sand as the backwash drew back towards the sea. I looked up at the horizon and the sun was half gone, the glow from it spread across the sky and made the clouds turn to all sorts of bright colours. I turned back around and faced the beach, I looked up and saw steep rocky mountains, full of green shrubs and trees, and I continued to turn; to take it all in, for the sun had only about a minute before it would disappear. I soon turned to face the sun again, and it was three quarters gone. Those islands were now dark silhouettes in the distance. I stared at the horizon, thinking about life, and so many other things. I smiled. The sun soon came to an end, the last bit of it vanished within a few seconds, and in those few seconds i witnessed the sky turn from light to dark. I didn’t want to leave; i wanted to stay there forever.

Slightly silhouetted shot of the mast and rigging of the Star of India, moored at San Diego, California. She is a very historic ship, being the oldest in the world that still sails regularly, and the oldest iron hulled merchant ship still afloat. Have a look at wikipedia for more information. / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_of_India_(ship)

I love sunrises. The sky this morning were fantastic. It was a perfect winter sunrise, as if the sky were endless. Was taken at a small pond at the hotel I work. Lowered my camera so that the pond looks like a big lake.

I love the way the wave makes the trees look so magnificent by being perfectly lined up! the snow is absolutely great and the gray sky is so ready to start snowing!
This picture of the sky was taken at the Intermural Fields in Athens, GA, of the clouds flying over Lake Herrick. The affirmation reads: / I am an infinite resource of compassion and wisdom. / I do my best every day. / Today I will be grateful. / Use affirmations when you want to welcome change into your life. At first an affirmation will bring out your inner critic, but over time they increase confidence and self-esteem.
