The story behind this image

The time just after sunset is a wonderful space of calm and tranquility after the excitement of seeing the sun go down.

It's as if the world is holding its breath, awaiting the onset of night. The wind lessens, the sea calms and the sky fades from orange to mauve as the wispy high altitude clouds pick up the final rays of the day.

It's a time for contemplation, for prayer, and, of course, for capturing the wonder on a piece of silicon.
