Still hour [SWF]

Twilight:  A time of pause when nature changes her guard.  All living things would fade and die from too much light or too much dark, if twilight were not.  ~ Howard Thurman

...dusk is the time when men whisper of matters about  which they remain silent in the full light of the sun.  ~ Simon Raven

Sky-watching: On the road

Driving in Manila can drive you crazy.  But instead of getting impatient at the slow moving traffic, look at the bright side.  Here, I had more time to enjoy the dusky skies while on the road.:p

Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it. ~ William Feather

Scatterings of pink [SWF]

@ mirandablue

I was back to the roof deck recently after a long absence.  My view of  Ortigas Center was now obstructed by this new 4-story house being constructed across the street.  But the fat pinkish cloud that looked like a scattering of sand made for an interesting sky-watch.

To my right, looking towards Eastwood, was this dark, heavy cloud that seemed to threaten the dry, quiet dusk.

Dusky glow [SWF]

@ mirandablue

The last glowing moments while the quiet stillness of dusk weaves music from light and water.  

Weightless as the warm breezes, I watched this poetry of silence cast shadows over the shore.   I held hands with darkness until only the music of the waves remain.

Dusk over Ortigas Center

My great day came and went, I do not know how.  Because it did not pass through dawn when it came, nor through dusk when it went.  - Antonio Porchia

Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk. - William Arthur Ward
