Description Watching the sun set so low
Tells us that it's time the day is to end
Nobody cries as it leaves
Or reaches for the light
But soon back again

But then I hear you sigh
And wish that you could stay
I'd like another day with you
.....Air Supply
....................................................

As I watched the sun set into the sea...
I felt the presence of my little sister...who left me 3 years ago. I could feel how much she loved the scene and wished that I could sit with her in the cool evening breeze.
Thankful that I am still blessed with sunrises and sunsets...
wishing I could have another day with her....

Wow. Sign me up please? Also sounds like you need rock star $$ to afford the place!

Thank you! I am glad you liked it. I wanted to give it a border but didn't want to take away from the shot. The faded border sort of makes it feel like looking out a window to me...with beveled glass. This was taken at a restaurant called Basil's...We found out while we were there that Mick Jagger was hanging out and getting drunk there for the three previous nights. He performed for hours...free. They also said that Bryan Adams had been there the previous week! Nice place to hang out on a boat huh?
