Sunset

 







Lately the best time of day in our city is around sunset. The cold loosens up enough to be more tolerable by then. And something becomes terribly clear about the ocean, like you could touch the horizon and it would be sharp enough to cut your finger. The buildings take the orange light well too, and the palm trees are all full of stars, which is very appealing.



We walked down to the Sea again today at the sunset, the second to last thing we did in a day full of shopping. My cheese habit is getting expensive. I like to buy one cheese each time I go that I know nothing about. Today it was a goat cheese covered in flowers. The cheesemonger asked if I knew what it was. She said it had a sweet rose gel in the center.

"Okay." I said.

It's six hours later now and there's just a little of it left.

At the beach, and once late during the shopping I took some pictures which I've tried to give a sunset flavor to, and maybe a little bit of the flavor of an old eighties song by the Go-Go's I had stuck in my head today.


This is my town now, roll the footage:

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
