The Setting Sun

Part of me died when I found that I lost my camera.

I then looked up at the sky, and soon realized that each day will close with the sun setting. The sun moves on, and it will continue to do so for quite some time, no matter what circumstances may come - a little wind, a strong typhoon, an eclipse.

And so shall you be able to move on, too.

Lapsed Time (City): Nov-12 to Feb-13

This blog actually stemmed from my wish to take a photo of the same spot everyday, if only to see how a place can look the same, and yet look different each time. Of course, I started to notice a lot of other beautiful views so I got sidetracked, but I still do this sometimes.

(Pro-tip: Hover over the photos for date info.)











(I've also previously posted photos of this area before.)

Nephelococcygia: Transforming Lion

I see a lion here, up in the sky. It looks in the midst of its transformation, not unlike The Beast's.

Dainty, Feathery Brush Strokes

I learned a word during science class one day, a word I'd adore and remember for the rest of my life. It reminds me of dainty feathers and brush strokes. It pertains to "a genus of atmospheric clouds generally characterized by thin, wispy strands"*.

Cirrus.

Breathe and Marvel

Breathe in that smoggy city air, and just marvel at your afternoon sky.

Peek-A-Boo and Nephelococcygia

Sometimes, the clouds want to play peek-a-boo with you. It rather looks like an eagle when you look carefully, doesn't it?

A Graceful Exit By The Sea

The wind in your hair, the sand beneath your feet, the smell of the ocean on your skin, and the sun making its graceful exit from your sky.

Freak Blue Streak

Because sometimes, Mother Nature just wants to mess with your head.

(But no, seriously. What is with that sudden blue streak? Granted it was raining, but still. Is it paving the bowling lane of the angels in the sky?)

Warm Fuzzy Sunlight

I've got the fuzzies, just looking at that view. Memories wash over me like waves. The sun still shines in the sky, reminding me of the ephemeral memories that will stay long with me - even after the sun sets, after the birthday party.

Yeah, this is a special one, all right.

Sunset Horizon

There's a sun smack in the middle of my horizon.

The Sun Sets Over Agusan

Sometimes I get surprised about the urban squalor that happens in towns on the verge of turning into a mega-city.

Still, the sun sets just the same way.

Breathtaking Sunset

Breathtaking. Taken at the same place I took the one with the flying horse.

Lure of City Lights

The city lights rather twinkle in the sunset civil twilight*, no? Lots of bright spots of color.

Rather reminiscent of this viewpoint.

The Afternoon Watches You Too

The lampposts kind of look like eyes, don't they? And that little whiff of leaves, like hair... Hmm.

Magic Mountain

I almost feel like I could tap this mountain for red mana. Yes, this quite reminds me of MTG art.

I took these during my visit of the 2013 Hot Air Balloon Festival.
