As I turned into the parking lot, I was struck by its emptiness. Where were all the cars of summer lined up for a classic Lake Michigan sunset? Pushing down a tinge of sadness, I lost myself in the approaching sunset. The sun was so bright, I could hardly look through my viewfinder. I could tell it was going to be a good night for a sunset.
The sky reddened as the sun sank into the Lake.
It would be one of those sunsets where the time after equals the beauty of the actual sunset.
Before I knew it, it was gone. The sun had set on the summer.
And the afterglow of memories was all that remained of another Leelanau summer.
I love the richness of the colors - especially the 3rd pic down - the sun seems to be sinking into the deep indigo of Lake Michigan.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jackie. Yes, the colors were very rich last night and I really like the word indigo you used to describe the water. Happy Fall! Karen
ReplyDeleteSuper captures of this gorgeous end of summer sunset, Karen. I love the glowing colors and reflected light across the water. I share your sad feelings on seeing signs that summer is over. Now, lets embrace the beauties of Autumn!
