The abandoned house across the street from my home has a lone dock on the lake that overlooks where the sun sets. So, after many days of contemplating, I picked up my camera and stole across the street to the serene dock. The other lake houses had fancy docks, with buildings and high-speed boats on them. This house had one that was simply made with wood and only possessed three ladders down to the water (due to the lack of rain, it is a beach right now)and a simple boat swing. There are no rails or restraints. Just feet of wood over very glass-like water in the evening stillness. I found it very freeing as I sat at the very tip of the dock and waited for the perfect moment and boy, was I glad I did.
I love sunsets. To me they are like God's personal painting for the day. Sometimes I laugh when I picture Him saying, "Forget your 'verse of the day', I'm going to paint you a picture--look heavenward!" Ah, a nice mental image.
Beautiful, right? Dad came and sat with me for awhile longer and we watched the sun dip down, but not before I laid back on the dock and took a photo of the amazing sky from upside down.
