Sunsets and Silhouette Dreams

Sunsets are things of beauty.

Don't you agree?

Yesterday boasted a particularly gorgeous sunset that Phnom Penh enjoyed after a couple of weeks of gloomy days and frequent rainfall. I was just so pleased with what I witnessed that I rode my motorcycle home immediately and grabbed my camera before lumbering up to the rooftop with hopes to at least catch the final rays of the glorious sunset. I was not disappointed.

John Lubbock once said, "Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven." I am inclined to agree.

After long hours of work, I must admit that I look forward to the ride home; when I get the chance to glance at the sky and just feel lighter than air.  If I'm lucky enough, I'd get a chance to catch sunsets like yesterday.

I read this article somewhere that people these days do not bother to look up and enjoy the scenery in their hurry to get their days done and over with. I think it is a shame especially since there is just so much that we can enjoy wherever we are.

Hey, if you are one of those people, do try to enjoy a slow sunset at least one of these days. I promise you it is worth it. ;)
