Winter Sunset

It's interesting to see the difference between what the eye sees and what the camera sees. When I looked at this sunset with my own eyes the Sun was a huge dark orange ball, much bigger than what you see here. The edges of this great orb were also more defined. It didn't give nearly the obscure glow that the camera sees.

I think the pictures I took are just fine, but I liked what my eyes saw much better. This isn't the most remarkable sunset you'll ever see, and it's also not the best I've seen, but all sunsets are nice to look at. It's unique to me because it's the first one I've gotten pictures of when there was snow on the ground.

Growing up in the city for most of my life I never really got to see any good sunsets. There were always buildings of some kind in the way. Because of this getting a picture of a sunset, any sunset was always a major goal of mine. So while these may not seem to be very spectacular pictures to anybody else, they are the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for me.

We all have dreams that maybe don't seem special to others, or maybe they do in some cases, but it can be the greatest feeling when we can realize those dreams. Some of my dreams are big and some are small. I'd like to see an owl for myself one day. I've never seen one except in video or pictures. I'd also like to be a billionaire. One of these two is a little easier to do than the other for me. I'm not sure which one.

Today I'm just happy that I got a few sunset pictures. Sure I've gotten sunset pictures before. But now it seems like a big thing every time I get another. There are lots of things in nature that are like that for me. In that way I'm delighted every time I go outside. Nature is such a wonderful thing. I'll talk to you later.
