*sigh* oooo, pretty. I take it as a sunrise - before the insanity of the waking world hits. Beautiful.

I cna't tell if it is sunset or sunrise, it doesn't matter much...it is a good time to pause and breathe either way!

Oooh...loverly. I don't get up that early to see images like that.

ps: love the Galway Kinnel poem on your other site. Sweet and sexy. My favourite combo!

ts, I am too lazy for a sunrise. But for some reason, this was a very quiet sunset, so it kind of felt early. I was in the middle of Colorado with my marriage collapsing and my gas tank near empty. Things like this make us look outside of ourselves, don't they?

minka, I like to catch my breath outside whenever I can.

ariel, interesting comment - I almost always remember things by smell. I am no scientist, but I think smell is the most evocative sense.

jh, Galway Kinnell is one fine poet. He has that deft touch that seems to be lost in much current verse. And I am a cynical romantic. I think he might be one too.

I knew it was sunset, somehow. Fits your mood lately.

I think "my marriage collapsing and my gas tank near empty" is a great sentence, my mind supplied "and freedom just over the rise."

nothing cynical in that comment, Doug.

love the picture -- i've seen many a sunrise AND sunset that looked much the same. sites like that never get old. sorry your marriage did. tho' i'm guessin' the Dawg's right, and it worked out for the best, as these things have a way of doing. xox neva

hope your tank is full again, wherever you are going to go now, lazy poet. :)

Mule - been there once - done that too. Thank you for the promise of better things with sunrise and sunset.
