RE: Tree Tuesday ~ "Si seulement je pouvais parler Francais..." ~
There is a small tribe of people all over the world that are fascinated by sunsets. Transfixed. I'm not sure what we are after. Do we just like pretty colors? Hard to say...
I'm definitely one of the tribe members. My family has perched many a time at sunset on the western beaches of your fair state, and watched in rapt attention for the coveted Green Flash.
I think this is multi-fold stuff. The wonderful color palette, late in the day relaxation at it's ebb, and an overall reminder of the dawn and drop of life.
Or, we just like it.
Deep stuff for a Wednesday in July...
It is lovely even on the eastern side of my state where you can't see it go down, but the colors all turn muted against the water and for a few minutes everything is magical.
I think you've got all the reasons listed. And it is also a bit addicting I think.
