sunset

I was sitting at the dining table, eating homemade beef and barley soup leftovers for the fifth time this week, reading a homework book, Epic Journeys of Freedom, when Justin tapped on the living room window from outside. "Come see the sunset!" In a flurry, I slipped on some flipflops, even though I had socks on, because shoes would have taken too long; grabbed my favorite Canada jacket Natalie gave me, got one arm in; snatched the camera off the shelf, and ran down the stairs to the courtyard.

Because I hurried, I got these two shots. The views were much better in real life.

Within the time it took to take 2 good shots about about 4 bad ones, the sky had already changed:


It's the world a gorgeous place to be in?
