The sun is setting and the sky is aglow.
Orange, yellow and pale violets fill the sky with colour.
The day is coming to an end.
The blue grey hillside silhouetted against the sky offers a backdrop to the gorse fires that are sending blue green smoke skyward.
The gorse burns cleanly like tinder.
All that will remain is ash.
The ash will return to the earth to feed next year’s growth and aid renewal.
The wheel turns.
The sun too has burnt cleanly in the sky and night will usher in the new day.
I would like to hear what you feel about it.
Wonderful, wonderful…I love the smoke coming off the fire and blaze of gorse in the foreground!!! Well done, indeed, John…another treat!!!!
Hello Terry,
That’s great that you like it. I was trying to link the three protagonists. Sun, fire and Gorse and of course the common thread was colour. Thank you very much.
Beautiful.Another great.
Thank you Mary, glad you like it.
