Sunset Thinking

Do you ever watch the sunset
And just sit and think about things
Just you and the sky and darkness
Giving your thoughts some wings

Perhaps youâ€™re got some troubles
And donâ€™t know what to do
Or you just plain need to get away
To spend a little time with you

Sunset beauty makes you feel as though
Your life has meaning after all
To see a sight so extraordinary
Makes you feel capable, strong and tall

Itâ€™s funny how flashes of color
Like a sunset or sunrise can inspire
It can calm your inner self a bit
Itâ€™s a scene you can never tire

The serenity gives you a chance
To put things in perspective
Life can be overwhelming at times
And a sunrise can be reflective

So when the sky lights up next time
Let your gaze do some drinking
Soak up and the amazing sights
And do some sunset thinking!

After having not shot pictures of any kind for a number of years, I took up the camera again (an old Pentax K-1000) shortly before this picture was taken -- a northbound CSX freight heading north from Bradenton, FL along the route from the famous Tropicana Juice Train. I don't even remember the vantage point I used -- I think it was from the landing below the U. S. 41 bridge at Palmetto, looking west. The GP38-2s and GP39-2s remained the staple of CSX power in Bradenton for many years, and only recently has Bradenton seen the newer GE power. From an old color negative.
