The View From Up Here

SONY DSC

Tonight when I was getting ready to make dinner I saw a beautiful amber colored glow in our dining room.  I looked out to see what was happening outside and saw the sun setting behind our building.  I know when I start seeing the lovely gold and purple sunsets that spring is well on it’s way.  I ran to get my camera before the sun went down and managed to snap a few shots.

When I took the photo off the camera and looked at it, I felt like it was playing mind tricks on me.  I know the view from where I took the photo. It’s from my balcony, overlooking the houses and trees behind us.  Still, when I looked at the photo I saw another view.  As though I was standing up on a hill looking down over water with small islands or shadows from the clouds and the reflection of the sun.  Do you see it?

I like that I managed to capture the birds without meaning to and that a view I see every day can somehow make me see something else in a photo.

Spring is coming, I hope you’re ready!  Every year it’s winter one day and spring the next, or it feels that way anyway.  It’s going to happen any day now, I can feel it!

    • Yeah, hard to believe it’s just a random ol’ Saturday sky in Rotterdam, huh? You must get some GREAT views from your place do you?

  3. I definitely saw the hill/water view. To me, it took me back to the sand dunes at the beach. Lovely!
