Fragments of sunset light from the phone
I won't pretend that the photos in this blog were taken on Wednesday. I'm just sharing a bit of the beauty the ever-changing light we see from office and our back deck at sunset. The silhouettes of the trees are just magnificent.
Also a bit special when there are just the slightest whisper of a new moon.
Simple beauty to enjoy.

Fire in the sky
The photos in this blog are of sunsets on 3/7 and 5/7. Each was startling in its own right; and each was different. But truely we were mesmerised by the fire in the sky on 5/7.
Fire in the sky reminded me of one of Deep Purple's tracks - and there was not smoke on the water but the clouds offered some smoke in the sky.
The opening photo was a panorama shot from 3/7. The panoramic photo was taken between the two photos below.
The following are the fire in the sky photos from 5/7.
Such fleeting and progressive beauty.

Welcome to the mountain and images that remind one
Today, after arriving home this morning, we have spent the day doing the mundane chores one does after a trip away; but we were reminded of the beauty of where we live by the stunning sunset tonight - such strong contrasts in the sky.
The following few images encapsulate some of the broad spectrum of beauty of the ten days - in random order.
There will be other trips to Japan to soak in other fragments and memories.
