The sunset of home

On the evening of Mother's Day our visiting son called me outside to watch the sunset and asked me to take a photo. He said seeing the sun set behind 'our' mountains gave him the real feeling of home that he often remembers in his 'other' home on the other side of the world. He will take a copy of this photo with him.
The black blob on the cloud I think is a lucky duck going home - it is duck hunting season here in NZ

You can take the son out of the home, but you can't take the home out of the son. I know.
Excellent shot for him to have as a reminder LE.

Your son doesn't have only a good taste, but seems to be a wise person as well.
To me, he has made a very proper choice, Lyn.

Regards, Cornelius.
