sunsets are the sky's heart
ring the bells that still can ring
forget your perfect offering
there is a crack in everything
that's how the light gets in
~ Leonard Cohen
Your quote from Leonard Cohen strongly reminds me of a song by Sara Groves:
When you hear it, you'll understand...
BTW, I love Leonard Cohen... :D
😄😇😄
Oh I love her voice....I'll have to listen to more of her singing. Thanks for the link!
Bayfront Park looks like a great place for a picnic - probably not right now though. :)
That's for sure. Maybe on a warmer day - the snow is okay but this blustery cold makes it difficult to breathe.
What a beautiful place, @countrygirl :) I immediately imagined myself sitting on the bench right there, gazing at the sky, and having a bottle of brown ale.
By the way, what are then sunrises?
A sunrise is the new light shining in a dark place - the morning star rising in your heart.
I could totally picture you sipping your brown ale and writing your review while sitting on the bench. It's a beautiful park - one that I need to go to again. Maybe capture some winter shots - but it's way too cold out - we are having record temperatures. It's -21C right now and probably going to -30C tonight. Brrrrrrrrr and windy which makes it colder.
Yeah, I heard about the record low temperatures in Canada ⛄ How are you coping with the cold weather? By the way, we are having one of the warmest winters ever (so far) with temperatures over 10C:
Nice warm and balmy temperatures you have! It's getting colder here and will be like this for a while. Our poor dog wants to go out for a walk but we have to be careful bc her feet could get frost bitten. She hasn't been for a walk in a couple of days - we let her run around the yard for a bit but that's it.
The wind makes it worse. It's gusting up to 50km today.
Oh, jeez 😒 poor dog. I hope it doesn't continue too long.
Nice shots, Sunsets are awesome.
I love sunsets, they never get old.
Nice!!!
Thank you @cognoscere!
I think we are going to miss Leonard Cohen very much. Beautiful photos!
Yes for sure. His poetry was beautiful as some of his songs - although he tended to be a tad maudlin. Glad you enjoyed the photos.
Maybe maudlin, but that voice!
I never thought about it that way. There always needs to be a nice sunset to end the perfect day. Lovely pictures you posted to go along with that thought too :).
Glad you enjoyed them @snrm. Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
Beautiful photos in changing light - the water mirror's the sky's solemnity.
A beautiful quote to set it off. Lovely
Thank you for your poetical comments.
What a beautiful setting!
Thanks @debralee! It is a beautiful lakefront park.
No snow yet? Or was that taken earlier in the year? I do see bare trees!
Oh my goodness yes....we have snow, too much snow and freezing temperatures. The photos were taken about a month ago.
