Delight: Distant Volcano At Dusk
Explore #91 - 04.06.2009
There is fire in everything,
shining and hidden—
Or so the saint believed. And I believe the saint:
Nothing stays the same
in the shimmering heat
Of dusk during Indian summer in the country.
Out here it is possible to perceive
That those brilliant red welts
slashed into the horizon
Are like a drunken whip
whistling across a horse’s back,
And that round ball flaring in the trees
Is like a coal sizzling
in the mouth of a desert prophet.
from Incandescence at Dusk by Edward Hirsch (1950 - )
Different volcano tonight. This is Mt Taranaki (Mt Egmont) on the horizon, silhouetted against the dusk sky. No saturation or tricks here, this is as it was and really doesn't do justice to the reality of such a delightful sunset.
