Sunset

I spent 40 minutes watching the sun disappear below the Purbeck Hills this evening; it was time well spent. I watched as the sky slowly slowly absorbed colour until the intense colour flooded it. I watched as those colours endlessly morphed into ever deepening rich hues. I think my mouth may have been open, slack jawed local style, as I watched transfixed. Finally after reaching their zenith I watched as those colours darkened faded and slowly drained as twilight fell.What my photos can't show is the sound of bird-call which filled the air, a symphony of sound, which although you could only see a few birds, was surely the sound of hundreds of birds in unison and completion.  Tonight’s sunset was a spiritual thing, for sure.
