From the same spot on the roof, the sunset sky is different everyday. The deepening colors, the cloud formations, the distant lights---they are constantly changing. Couldn't help but compare it to everyday life. Physical, material things and experiences are ever-changing. If you're in a bad situation, it'll change. If you're in a good situation, it'll change. And it came to pass...so we may learn something, so we may grow, so we could be aware of where our path is headed, so we could celebrate those seemingly inconsequential events that lift us up, so we could enjoy the time we have.
These were taken on Saturday, October 30th, my birthday. A couple of my friends came over and we enjoyed this fleeting beauty over beer and wine and jovial conversation.

Did you have your party on the roof too? That must have been fun.
Beautiful skyscapes amongst the skyscrapers.
Jaw-droppingly spectacular. I simply went gaga over the second image with the skyline on the bottom.
Belated b/day greetings my dear.
I wish I had been sitting out there with you and your friends with my little glass of vino to see this beautiful sight up close and personal. The sky was certainly putting on a magical show for all of you to enjoy. Amazing colors.
Beautiful skies. Love the skyline view! I've been to Manila but it didn't look this beautiful.
And Happy Birthday! Many happy skies in the future.

Beautiful sunsets. Maybe being on a roof gets you closer to the sky?
Belated birthday greetings. I wish you a good year instead of "happy birthday"!
You're right about situations and things changing constantly, and I love the serenity prayer.
