Some moments just seem perfect for standing in the doorway and looking out as life goes by. Sometimes it’s at first light, sometimes at midday. On a particularly lazy day, evenings are just awesome for looking out. Whatever that time is for you, it’s to be savored, the beauty of each sight to be appreciated; whether it’s a quiet road, a busy street or a green lawn. We all need time out to just stand, just be and just appreciate life and nature.
Do you ever look up and the sky looks like one vast, endless canvass covered in the most amazing art? For me, that’s like an everyday, phenomenon. Everyday, the sky looks like a new painting; some more beautiful and causing deeper feelings than others previous or subsequent. Today’s sky was a bright blue, white and grey masterpiece, a sight to be savored; to be captured for future enjoyment, the silhouette of the building and tree only adding to the elements that made this artwork all the more beautiful. And capture it, I did. In my own small manner, I captured the beautiful vastness of an artsy sky over Lagos.
Took many times, you hear or read about clear blue skies in song lyrics or books or poetry. But seeing a clear blue sky is actually like a bit of fantasy
(at least in this part of the world!) because there’s always clouds to give the sky some other color. Today however, I got to experience a blue sky in all its clarity and, in spite of the fact that it also meant the sun’s rays beat down on me unhindered enough to make me blacker than I already am, I just couldn’t help seeing how beautiful almost everything looks against the backdrop of a Clear Blue Sky.
Don’t just like! Feel free to tell me what you think in the comments box below!
There’s something about the setting sun that just gets to me. Maybe it’s the shadows it casts or the sign that another day is done. Either way, the sun going to bed is always awesome to capture. It’s no different in Lagos.
