FOURTH OF JULY 2011

"The fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight"- Bruce Springsteen
 
While the firworks were pretty impressive from my view in the cockpit. I could not help thinking about the sunset show that nature put on before the man made event last night which was also impressive:

While a man made rocket will dazzle our senses for a few seconds before rapidly fading. The show that nature puts on lasts for a long time and the best thing is I never have to wait for one day a year to enjoy it.

Great picture, Mike, and I couldn't agree more. In fact, nature's bueaty may be what the fire works folks were emulating in the first place!

Yes, sunsets are always something I look forward to at the end of the day. I think they are especially nice to see from the boat or shoreline. I get a lot of pinch me moments seeing them.
