Sunsets

Sunset, Lower Dam, Lake Lowell

What is it about sunsets that we all enjoy? Each one is so different, not one the same or even similar. I have my own ideas why we all enjoy them so much. Maybe your ideas are different. I would love to hear others views.

All day long we view the world in cold, blue light. Our eyes adjust to the color and we see it as “normal.” Then for a few brief minutes at the end of the day everything changes. On the evening of a great sunset, the whole color palette of the world shifts to the warm spectrum. Psychologically warm is inviting, it draws us in, it is captivating. If nothing else it is different. I could be very happy sitting next to my sweetheart every evening watching the sun set, just watching and soaking in the warm feelings. Life couldn’t get much better.
