Why do people love sunsets so much? What makes people stop in their tracks and just want to watch it? Why do we photograph it and hang it on our walls,put it on our desk tops, and phones?

Is it just because they are pretty? A nice little light show at the end of the day to send us off to our beds with a smile on our faces?

Is it because they remind us how very small we are, and how our world, our sky is such a very big place?

Maybe it's because they signify the end of a period of time. It's a short period of time; a day. But a lot can happen in a day. We have good days and bad days, and often both rolled into one. But we always say "tomorrow is another day" and the sun setting is a sign of that. Life starts anew each new day.

For some people maybe it is spiritual. I gentle reminder that there is something bigger and infinitely wiser and more powerful than us!

For others, it brings warm feelings of love and romance. The sky lights up with the colours of heat and passion, and awakens that feeling within us.

I think for me, it's all of the above. A little bit of everything. Maybe some nights more of some reasons than others.

Watching the colours come alive and change brings out some sort of peace in me. Even if I've had a terrible day, watching a beautiful sunrise can make me feel so much better. At peace. Calm. Wistful and even... joyful! My troubles seem to melt away and are replaced with a feeling of well being. It's like a nice warm hug.....

Often I wonder about what all the other people in the world are doing. The ones who are too busy to stop and enjoy it, and I feel sorry for those people, because they are missing out on the greatest show on Earth.
