My gypsy feet were getting restless and wanted to go exploring, after all it is now 4 months since my last trip. So yesterday it was time for a day’s outing into the country side. Discovering a new and delightful place for lunch. (more on this in another post) On to Murwillumbah art gallery to be immersed in art. Then sit on the deck of the gallery café with a cup of coffee as the sun went down.
It is dusk and, thinking the sunset was finished, it is time to head home along the highway. The sugar cane fields on one side and the Tweed River on the other. Suddenly the sun illuminates the sky with a final burst of iridescent red, it is breathtaking and I had to stop and try to capture this pure moment of nature’s glory. I am oblivious of the vehicles rushing by, people encased in their metallic shells. Are they even aware of the beauty around them. The place is a perfect spot for photographs as the cirrus clouds reflect in a pool of blood in the river.
Ten minutes and the show is over…

For this week’s challenge, share a photo of something pure — it can be a person, an object, or a moment.

Not many spots to pull up along this stretch of highway so I slammed the brakes on when I saw this gap appear.

Serendipity! Lucky you having somewhere to pull over – it never happens for me, by the time I find a safe spot the event is long gone. Love the second shot. So clear.

These are wonderful, Pauline. I often wonder the same thing about drivers, although I don’t want them to look around too much! Even people walking are often looking at their phones rather than at what’s nearby. What a waste!

I also notice a lot of people, especially older generation, walk along looking at the ground. Yes so many are also transfixed with the mobile phone and there is so much to see in this world.
