A Sunset, with Trees


Last Sunset - 2008
Photographed, December 31, 2008

A Sunset Haiku
The sky is lovely.
Lines and trees get in the way;
Not the best photo.

    That is easily the most self-deprecating haiku ever :-)

    Tree branch tracery
    filters setting sun spectrum
    and frames its glory.

    It looks as if there's a horizontal rainbow rather than a sunset. I think it's great.

    Pat, your haiku made me smile.

    Good for you for catching the last sunset of 2008. I never thought of doing that. What a good idea.

    I like the trees and lines. Your world is beautiful. Treelines remind me of how close we are to heaven but still here after all!

    What a beautiful post, is there anything more dramatic than the limbs of a leafless tree against the evening sky?
