“Lord of the far horizons,
Give us the eyes to see ~
Over the verge of the sundown ~
The beauty that is to be.” ~
William Bliss Carman . . Sun going down gently beyond the Harakeke, Greymouth, West Coast, NZ.
That is a very high hill or you are down low, but either way the grasses make wonderful silhouettes against the fading light of the life giver. I love the poem as well. The colors are very pretty too.
To answer Cindy's wondering - I was down low - very low - just how low can you go lol, I could have been lost amongst the flax bushes never to be seen again!
A sunset viewed lying down :) It was certainly worth the trouble! I like the silhouettes and the way the last rays of the sun melt into the blue above. Beautiful shot, Lyn.
Did you ever see the movie, "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids?" Just wondered. Lovely view and the sun and grasses almost form a Vee in photo as a sign for Victory. Excellent Lyn,
Had the intention to say that you probably laid on your belly Lyn to capture this wonderful image, but you already said above that you was down low. How low can one go indeed, lol.
Regards, Cornelius
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

Sundown!! It must be time for sundowners then! You bring the Gin, I'll bring the tonic. I love this one, the gradation of the colour in the sky is terrific as are the silhouettes. One question: were you horizontal after too many sundowners yourself I wonder ;-)
