Fading sunset [SWF]

@ mirandablue

I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy---myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my Spirit may come to you without shame.

~ a Native American Prayer

I don't want to spoil the beauty by saying the clouds in the first pic looks like Paquiao's fist! Hahaha, he will be Las Vegas for another showdown, though I do not have the details yet.

Your shots of a dramatic sunset are almost surreal, Luna... and I like the prayer too - wish a few public figures here would live by them.

Unknown said...

The prayer, the sentiment, the photos... all just awesome. Thanks for sharing!!

Linnea said...

Wonderful scene... it's like two worlds are merging into one: you've got the older rooftops in the foreground and the tall, modern skyscrapers in the background...along with the gorgeous sun! Perfect timing on this scene! Thanks for visiting mine!

Hi,
I know this is not your latest skywatch, but I really like this shot because it just feels like the Philippines.
