I spent yesterday on a road trip, with my final destination being Post Rock Country in Central Kansas. I never seem to have enough time to see everything I want to see, but was so happy when I was heading south on Ks. Hwy. 232 and noticed this beautiful scene at Wilson Lake.
Sunsets embody the delicate balance between endings and beginnings, safety and vigilance, light and shadow. As the day melts into night, the world pauses in a moment of transition, inviting us to reflect on life’s own complexities. On one hand, the sunset offers serenity—a sense of closure to the day’s endeavors. Its warm, fading hues paint the sky with tranquility, reminding us to slow down, appreciate beauty, and find peace in the inevitable cycles of life. There’s comfort in the rhythm of sunsets; they ground us and signal rest, a sanctuary from the busyness of existence.
Yet, as the light fades, the shadows grow longer, and with them comes the mystery and uncertainty of night. The sunset is also a harbinger of change, a reminder that darkness must follow even the brightest days. In its fleeting beauty lies a truth we all wrestle with: the moments of peace we cherish are often paired with challenges that require us to stay vigilant, adaptable, and ready to face the unknown. Just as sunsets fade into the unknown territory of night, life asks us to navigate transitions, uncertainties, and choices that test our resolve.
Life, like the sunset, is a duality—a blend of calm and chaos, certainty and mystery. It’s a balance of embracing moments of joy and comfort while preparing for the struggles and questions that lie ahead. Sunsets teach us that beauty exists not just in the light, but in its interplay with shadow. They remind us to savor the fleeting moments of peace while understanding that the darker hours are just as much a part of the journey. In this duality, both sunset and life find their profound meaning.

Semisonic-Closing Time
Had such a great morning at the river that, as I was trekking back, I thought to myself - "Only an eagle could have made this morning any better" - and then this happened. A juvenile bald eagle perched in a tree no more than 7 yards away from me. It was the perfect ending to an amazing morning.
This photo is more than just a photo and a documentation of that great evening. It's a representation of how much I love sunsets and how much joy they always give me. No matter how bad of a day I've had, ending it with a sunset always makes it better.
I spent all night working on this picture. Photoshop is still a pain in the butt to me because I only learned how to use it like a month ago.
But I love this picture. This was one of the best evenings I've ever had. I was in the middle of a huge field, probably the quietest place in my entire city. I looked to the east and saw the clouds being lit up bright pink over the entire mountain range. I looked west and saw one of the prettiest sunsets of my life.
After a week full of rain and wind storms in Victoria, this day was a real treat before going back home.
Warm sun, warm colours. Perfect endings!

This lonely trail beneath my feet
surrounded by trees and a stunning creek
It twists and turns like a slithering snake
and away from its path there's a mirrored lake
On this trail, there is a hail, of dried up leaves
that fall endlessly from atop the trees
There are even footprints by a lonely damn
to where the edges of the path expand
For on this trail beneath my feet
thrive many memories In my heart, I will keep.
Made my way back from Scarborough, via York, Manchester and then ending up in Crewe, before driving home.
A fallen tree in Ohanepecosh. That's the thing about forests, all endings are just beginnings in another form. That fascinates me. Forests fascinate me in general.
The beginning of a new project...I'm not sure where it will lead, or even why I am so fascinated by this heap of corrugated iron lying discarded in the woods. I think much of this will be shot in colour, but I started with a dark mono.
Not and ending to the day, but rather the last remaining minutes of waning color in the sky from a glorious sunrise as the sun ascended above the clouds.

Yep, sunset again. From the archives, I seem to have wound up in a place where good sunsets are fairly rare.

I will miss this place....
Last evening me and mine went to the Grand Theatre, Swansea to see Bronwen Lewis – who you might ask ?
She’s I suppose you could call it , “A local girl done good “. From the Web : A young bilingual singer-songwriter from the South Wales valleys, Bronwen comes from a very creative and musical family. She sang the soundtrack theme song ‘Bread and Roses’ to the BAFTA winning film ‘Pride’ “
I first got to know about her via a Facebook live performance but prior to that during Lockdown she sang from her living room on Tik Tok which set her career off big time.
These two mugs were part of the merchandise that was on sale in the foyer. “Perffaith “is the song by Ed Sheeran , namely Perfect which she translated herself and sings it in Welsh, whilst “Ti a fi ‘ meaning, “You and me” is one that she wrote specifically about her grandparents.
If you want to be blown away as much I was last night then take a listen to her back in 2013 on The Voice.
Possibly the last photo my Canon 6D will take, shortly after this photo the tripod was blown over and the camera fell 10 feet onto a rock.
Landscape shot across a frozen lake showing rolling hills in the distance and a vast capture of the soft and peaceful sunset in the late afternoon of a cold winter's day.

It started as a street candid, but, she saw me and it ended with a thumbs up and a great big smile. A perfect ending!
