Sunsets on the Sound

Here are the connections of vision, place and time

Photograph of a vivid white sun setting at the horizon over St. Joseph Sound, Florida, framed by dark choppy water below and a dramatic sky of layered gray and peach clouds lit from beneath by a deep red and orange glow.

Oil-painting-style image of a sunset over St. Joseph Sound, Florida, dominated by dark layered storm clouds with orange and amber breaks, the sun's glow reflected as a soft pool of light on the dark water.

Dramatic painterly sunset over St. Joseph Sound, Florida, with an explosion of crimson, scarlet, and gold clouds sweeping across a wide sky above a deep wine-colored sea reflecting the fiery light.

Vivid sunset over St. Joseph Sound, Florida, with a blazing orange sun just above the horizon sending a golden column of light across calm water, beneath a dramatic sky filled with dark and copper-toned clouds and distant birds in flight.

The surfaces of water, wind, air
Movement

Light
If not also sound
What is whispered, measured
In speech

“The sun dropping to the water”
“Sky, Earth, Wind, Clouds, Rain”

The weather shouldering itself into the landscape, unassisted
Pushing into the trees, through the grass
Across continents and seas

Despite it all
Mass, temperature, spin

Stars in the void

A voice in the wind

One current shapes it all
