About Sunset

Golden sunset at Krakatau, June 2012

Sunset. I guess there are many poems, pictures, stories, and blogs that tell about sunset. That adores the sunset. Almost everyone I know like sunset. Probably they like the mixture of the orange sun and the grayish sky. Or maybe because only when sunset comes, we could look at the sun directly without being dazzled. Or else. I don’t know.

And me? I don’t fancy sunset as much as people do. Sunset, as I thought, is the time when we're about to welcome the darkness. To welcome the absence of light. And since I like brightness a lot better than the darkness, that's why I prefer sunrise to sunset. 

Don't you just love the transition of the dark sky to the morning light? I surely do :)
