There are times when you feel ‘out of time’ and I had one of those lovely experiences this evening in the after glow of sunset at Annestown Beach, Co. Waterford. These are the special moments when nature invites you in to her gaze and lingers for a tiny bit longer than she should.

Nature never lingers longer than she should. Nature is not on our agenda, though many would wish it. When humans get the upper hand over nature, it does not always mean anything good will come from it. Yes, schedules can be delayed while enjoying a pleasant view. In fact, I not only find gazing into sunsets over the ocean pleasant, I find them to be very seductive. But I also cannot think of a reason mother nature would not intend it to be.
A gorgeous image – so peaceful!
Thanks so much, WS. I’m glad you like it.

Interesting point re nature never lingering longer than she should, Van. It certainly felt like she had taken her eye off the ball the other evening!
What a gorgeous image… I too would be mesmerised!
